I think the X11 locale support has a few features not in the libc locale support. The X11 locale support was originally designed to support systems without native locale support; obviously that is a small enough minority to ignore at this point. It would be great it someone would go explore what features X11 locales have that libc locales do not, and then we can figure out how to get rid of the X11 locale database. Duplicating system functionality is a terrible plan. -keith
