Well, this is an old release ;-) ... the localedef files are dated
around 1996.  (And you don't want to know how long it's been since
I could speak passable Spanish.)

In any case, the fact that the official rules have changed does not
invalidate my point: there are systems on which the assumption Peter
wants to make will fail.
