I have looked for a standard related to the locale behavior and I was

If there is a standard of some kind, is apple violating it?
Nope. If there were we could complain about it. All we have now is
many
different implementations. The most commonly used ones are Java, ICU,
glibc and Windows. AIUI all except Windows understand the xx_XX
format.
Java and ICU are essentially the same.
I found a note that both Perl6 and PHP6 may use ICU. That would be an
interesting change.
Darwin also uses ICU extensively. Is it that time of year again to
discuss using/linking against it?
