Viranaso,

What exactly are you referring to? According to the locale.dtd the
element is mandatory, but nevertheless it can be empty. The XLocaleData
documentation doesn't say anything about this.

Of course they are a kludge, after all it is named locale data, and not
language data. But the so far only problem that I'm aware of, mentioned
above, where an absent country code caused problems with the
spellchecker, was fixed long time ago (see issue 6133 about Latin) by
introducing the word ANY as a special country code in the dictionary.lst
file.

The corresponding entry for Esperanto in dictionary.lst would be
DICT eo ANY eo

No, please don't create locale data for different countries, I would not
include them. Please bear in mind that each locale needs a MS-LangID
assigned, and also must have a string resource entry in langtab.src to
be selectable from the language listbox. We will not bloat that with
dozens of Esperanto entries. Create one eo.xml, and for the currency
use, like in ia.xml (Interlingua), Euro, for example, as that probably
is most widely used with Esperanto, I guess. A different default
currency than Euro that overrides the definition may always be selected
by the user under menu Tools.Options.LanguageSettings.Languages.
