I think that merely all of your suggestions were on my mental TODO
list.
IMHO, the priority should be the broken Go Back support mentioned by
Joey.

Yep. This was my intent when I built localechosser first, but other
problems distracted mefrom doing so..:)

Maybe with a lower priority, though.

I'm not really fond of that thing, but indeed mostly because at the
time I worked on localechooser, I basically didn't know how to
implement this..:-)

Sure. This is actually a hack we had in countrychooser to not break
locales using @euro most of the time.

I never tested that thing (added by Colin, IIRC) so I have no adivce here.

IMHO we now can enable it for everything as there is now a system to
avoid showing "broken" caracters.
The language screen could at least show "C" along with "English" (or
any other language which can use only ASCII characters...there is none
at this time).
