Paul Eggert suggested to use "eo":
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2002-07/msg00147.html
I think "eo" is the nice choice instead of eo_XX because AA_BB means
AA: langugage, BB: region. If we want to use the regional information
with "eo" locale, we can override it with LC_* (ex: LC_MONETARY and so
on) over LANG environment variable. How about this idea?
