Hi Michael, I'll send some locale related updates shortly, most of them should be pretty self-explanatory but I'll provide some references in few cases and I'm sure you can come up with slightly better wording here and there. Related to wording, I see that setlocale(3) states: The locale "C" or "POSIX" is a portable locale; its LC_CTYPE part corresponds to the 7-bit ASCII character set. And http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap07.html#tag_07_02 states: The tables in Locale Definition describe the characteristics and behavior of the POSIX locale for data consisting entirely of characters from the portable character set and the control character set. For other characters, the behavior is unspecified. Do you think setlocale(3) is consistent with the above?
