no, it is missing from the LC_IDENTIFICATION category quoted above.

I've used de_DE as reference in cases like this since it's written by
the same author as most of the i18n code in glibc but now that you
mention it, locale/programs/ld-address.c actually contains the following:

/* The real definition of the struct for the LC_ADDRESS locale.  */
struct locale_address_t
{
  const char *postal_fmt;
  const char *country_name;
  const char *country_post;
  const char *country_ab2;
  const char *country_ab3;
  uint32_t country_num;
  const char *country_car;
  const char *country_isbn;
  const char *lang_name;
  const char *lang_ab;
  const char *lang_term;
  const char *lang_lib;
};

So perhaps it would actually be better to use Unicode points instead of
simple numbers after all.

Cheers,
