It seems to me this is what multiple locales are for, and free-form
modifiers, eg.  you would define xx_YY and xx_YY@posix.  You can of
course inherit most of the common stuff between locales using "copy"
keyword in most categories.

Though, it's fairly likely that I didn't really understand you
intentions, so I may be wrong.

Cheers,
