--- Comment #2 from Egmont Koblinger <egmont at gmail dot com> ---
Some aspects sound quite problematic to me.

What should be the decimal separator, the first day of the week, the currency
etc. (let alone a few less important ones e.g. phone prefix, postal format)?

To second Andreas's point, what are the desired use cases to which setting
separate LC_whatever variables isn't sufficient currently? Would an en_EU then
be definitely sufficient for all these kinds of requests? Wouldn't something
else, e.g. improving the way users could generate their own locales (tools,
docs) a better solution?

If en_EU is added then shouldn't there be a fr_EU, de_EU etc., for ... for
which languages exactly?
