I thought that was more about things like letters with diacritical
marks, Turkish i and so on. But I stand corrected.

Maybe we need a few members that test a large number of locales. (Anyone
feel like donating resources? I'm currently providing resources for
seven, which I think is sufficient :-) )
Or a few volunteers from among existing members that can test lots of
locales. (My f14 box has 245 utf8 locales, 181 non-utf8 locales and 308
that don't specify an encoding.
Or I could make the client get a list of available locales/encodings and
then test a number of them each run cyclically.
