With all due respect, I can't see any reason why _DK was chosen
to represent a generic continental European English locale.
If such locale is actually needed, shouldn't we introduce en_EU
instead?  _EU can be understood either as Europe or as European
Union, both could be assumed valid.

On the other hand, we have multiple locale categories
(LC_MESSAGES, LC_MONETARY etc.) to let the users choose that,
for example, they want English messages while monetary and
other measures specific for their proper countries.

Can we introduce en_EU even if there is no ISO regulation
defining EU as a territory/country/etc.?
