As the POSIX locale is part of ISO 9945, and hence cannot easily be changed, it is recommended to make the C locale identical to the POSIX locale. - once the POSIX locale is registered, there is no need to maintain two versions of this specification; hence, WG15 is recommended to remove, at the earliest possibility, the text of the POSIX locale from ISO 9945. - once the POSIX locale is removed from the ISO 9945 standard, WG15 and WG14 are recommended to revise the registered POSIX and C locales, in order to align the specifications with the ISO 8601 standard for date formats (i.e., replace the mm/dd/yy format by the yyyy/mm/dd format). USA The US National Body votes to Approve with comments the POSIX Locale for Registration with ISO/IEC 15897 Comment on POSIX locale registration: I realize this comment is beyond the original deadline, but not beyond the April 16 deadline for U.S. comments on the POSIX locale. I noticed that the values in three categories in the LC_CTYPE section have trailing semicolons (;). I tried running localedef on our platform on a locale with the same problems, and it found and reported the errors, so this probably should be fixed. The problems are: punct ;;;\ ;;;;\ . . . ;;;; tolower (,);(,);(,);(,);(,);\ (,);(,);(,);(,);(,);\ (,);(,);(,);(,);(,);\ (

);(,);(,);(,);(,);\ (,);(,);(,);(,);(,);(,); Action: 1. Remove the semicolon after in the punct class. 2. Move the toupper section before tolower and remove the semicolon after the (,) pair in that definition. 3. Either remove the semicolon after the (,) pair in the tolower definition, *or* remove the entire section and replace it with this comment: # tolower is the inverse of toupper ___________ end of NB comments _____________
