I really don't think that relying on that working properly is a good idea. All it takes is for one rogue PHP script to set the locale to some odd locale to be able to print currency symbols properly or whatever, and the hook scripts would start behaving really strangely. As a module author, presuming the locale is undefined is the safest bet, and as an adminstrator, starting the server in the C locale is the safest bet. joe
