[FWD:] The locale name of Taiwan
Dear Developers,
Recently the "official" locale name of Taiwan in glibc-2.2 seems
to be a serious problem to us, and we are discussing it in the
<cle-devel@linux.org.tw> mailing list. No matter what, the name
"zh_TW" seems to be a unacceptable name, as described in the following
mail. If we really want to follow the standard of glibc, the name
"zh_TW.big5" seems more acceptable.
Please give us more comments about this issue. And very sorry that
I recall this problem in this mailing list once again.
Best Regards,
T.H.Hsieh

刚刚查一下 X/Open 的规定 zh_TW 还是给 CNS 用
而且 CNS 的字集比 任何一个 Big5 都大, 你要用 Big5? 全面取代 CNS 怎说都说不过去
还是你希望 GNU 的系统, 从此进不了金融界跟政府机构的大门。
另外听说 glibc 的 cmap 格式又改了，不知道是改成怎样的标准。
还有不知道 glibc 这次大动作是要订定以后glibc 的标准，还是属于实验性质。
因为有接触过这一部份的人应该清楚，这几年来 glibc 在这部份已经大幅修改了好几次。
