Did I understand correctly that you're looking into that?
I'm going to withdraw this entry. The sooner we get something like 0001 into a release, the sooner the world will be rid of PostgreSQL clusters initialised with the bad old locale names that the manual very clearly tells you not to use for databases.... but I don't understand this ACP/registry vs database encoding stuff and how it relates to the use of BCP47 locale names, which puts me off changing anything until we do.
