Jani, I'm glad you agree with us on the necessity of using commas. However, I 
disagree in regards to the default layout.
Romanian keyboards are indeed in minority right now, but I'm convinced the 
situation will change. After all, the standard was published in 2004 and 
Windows started using it only this year. The manufacturers are starting to 
adapt. I've seen Romanian keyboards delivered with Fujitsu-Siemens PCs in a lab 
at "Politehnica" University and I've read that all the Romanians working for 
the EU are given Romanian keyboards.
If someone choses a Romanian layout he expects it to be different from the US 
one. Regarding the majority of users, Windows is ubiquitous and it's default 
layout is the Standard layout. Thus, there will be no confusion for the users; 
in fact, the keyboards will function exactly as expected.
I don't see any reason why Ubuntu should diverge from SR 13392:2004 which, 
coincidentally, is also enforced by the Windows monopoly. I think Programmers 
is the default layout in xkb because the matter was decided by programmers but 
we should not forget that Ubuntu is an OS for everybody.
