As the patch submitter, what I would like to propose is to place this
ticket in WAITING status while I perform some outreach for a more
definitive answer.
While I know that "BHU" is wrong, I am content to wait for a
definitive answer so it doesn't have to be patched again later.

I will withdraw and replace the patch when a more definitive answer is
available.

Chris,


Your plan seems like the best course of action, however, if you find that
you don't have a response within a couple of weeks please return to us and
we'll checkin the original patch as forward progress.

Cheers,
Carlos.


After a thoughtful and welcome discussion on libc-alpha, a contact
from the Dzongkha Development Commission was able to resolve some
uncertainties about the proper representation of the countryname
Bhutan in Dzongkha

http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-12/msg00321.html

Per that e-mail,

"The short (abbreviated) name of Bhutan is simply ààààà (U+0F60 U+0F56
U+0FB2 U+0F74 U+0F42) "
Per that e-mail,

"The short (abbreviated) name of Bhutan is simply ààààà (U+0F60 U+0F56
U+0FB2 U+0F74 U+0F42) "

"as to the question of whether to put U+0F0B or U+0F0D on the end:

  - if you are concatenating the string with other Dzongkha (or Tibetan
words) you would probably need U+0F0B.
- if the string occurs at the end of a phrase or sentence you use U+0F0D
- if the string occurs alone you can either leave it as it is - or add U+0F0D"

Given it's appearance in the LC_ADDRESS field, the most common usage
is presumed to be in postal addressing, not in concatenation with
other words.

Therefore, the patch as originally submitted is in correct form (it
includes the U+0F0D character at the end).

Unless further discussion is indicated on whether or not an LC_ADDRESS
countryname can be presumed to be a stand-alone or terminal element, I
would respectfully request commit of the patch as submitted.

I'll commit the original version now together with an update of the maintainer. Full patch and ChangeLog - as committed below.
