[Fwd: Common Locale Data Repository V1.0 Beta Available!]

[Tony Jewtushenko <Tony.Jewtushenko@oracle.com>]

All:

Although this the following repository only at Beta level,   it's worth a look if just to be aware of it for the future. 

It appears to unify a number of IANA , ISO standards,  and Java locale properties into one repository.  There's missing bits,  but most of it is complete.

Regards,
Tony
