It should be fully descriptive of the language, locale, and encoding, for example, vi_VN.viscii is different than vi_VN.tcvn, just as ja_JP.sjis != ja_JP.eucJP != ja_JP.ujis, there are many others, especially among the Asian languages where the encoding formats have either not been standardized or there is no widely accepted encoding. -- creaky halls
