This is due to the recent (well, not so recent) upgrade to glibc 2.2;
the way in which locales were handled have changed massively (for the
better IMHO). In particular, glibc standardised locale names such that
in the encoding part (the part after the dot), all punctuations are
trimmed and everything is in lower case. So now zh_TW.Big5 becomes
zh_TW.big5, and zh_TW.UTF-8 becomes zh_TW.utf8, for example.

Yes, the docs need to be updated ...
