This is to some extent a continuation of the previous thread. [1]
I publish these patches in order to gather more feedback, both from
this list and from other sources.  I hesitate to commit immediately
because they change as many as 80 locales which I have almost no
knowledge about.  If anybody can see any problem here then please say.
Otherwise, if I don't get any sustained objection in a week I will push
these patches to master.

Helpful questions:

1. Is it OK to use variable width date formats?
   (Thank you TAMUKI Shoichi for raising this concern [2])
2. Is it OK to use "%l" (hour, 1-12, space padded) instead of
   "%I" (hour, 01-12, zero padded) when CLDR uses "h" (hour, no padding)?

Regards,

Rafal
