I've applied all of the following:
locale.5: document class in LC_CTYPE
locale.5: document default_missing
locale.5: document character transliteration
locale.5: document map "totitle"
locale.5: copy is not exclusive in LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE
locale.5: document map to_inpunct, map to_outpunct
locale.5: document outdigit and alt_digits
locale.5: document charclass and charconv
locale.7: LC_CTYPE determines transliteration rules on glibc systems
and also this one that you just sent
locale.5: fix country_isbn format
Are there more to come?

Help me here ;-). Do you see a problem? If yes, what is it?
Thanks,
