--- Comment #11 from Egmont Koblinger <egmont at gmail dot com> ---
I don't understand the EBCDIC worries at all.
These locale definition files are in ASCII. If you interpret these same files
in EBCDIC, section names and property names don't make any sense, and neither
do encoded characters such as "<U0020>", I mean it's no longer
less/greater-than, uppercase U and digits.
Then, if you iconv the file, the resulting <U0020> and friends still define
Unicode codepoints and not EBCDIC ones.
So, in order to use these files in an EBCDIC environment, they need to be
converted on two different levels.
This does not become any harder or any more complicated by allowing plain ASCII
characters.
