Not yet. Personally I'd like to have it implemented as soon as RFC
3066bis will be finalized. However, a schedule of 2-4 years may be
realistic.

Mozilla kind of has an easy going, as they're not concerned with
document exchange or long-living addons.

Sure, why not.

If it's only for UI localization and private use, one could also come up
with fake locales to support different localizations, ISO 639 does have
a reserved range for private use. However, these should not be written
to documents => not selectable by the user or assigned as text attribute
for spell-checking for example, so it's questionable whether it would be
useful at all.

What do governmental departments use in digital processing? I guess it's
Cyrillic? If so, and you want a wide-spread use of OOo, you probably
should support Cyrillic first.
