I don't have a strong opinion on this, but I do I have a preference for a rule based on (b): if multiple locale subdirectories have the same case-insensitive name, then the one that comes first in ASCII- code order (e.g. in order: EN, En, eN, en) is used and the others are ignored. The argument in favour of only using one is that we already have to merge multiple directories, and adding one merge operation for what is in all probability a user error seems like too much complexity for little value (I'm happy to be contradicted by implementers however). Picking ASCII-code order is based on the fact that the directory names must be ASCII here (the others must be discarded), and picking the first is arbitrary. Thoughts?
b) seems like a reasonable choice. I wonder if the I18N WG has any related guidelines recommendations we should consider.
