Proposed new API for ICU 3.0 in Locale (locid.h):

    /**
     * Creates a locale from the given string after canonicalizing
     * the string by calling uloc_canonicalize().
     * @param name the locale ID to create from.  Must not be NULL.
     * @return a new locale object corresponding to the given name
     * @draft ICU 3.0
     * @see uloc_canonicalize
     */
    static Locale createCanonical(const char* name);

Please reply to this list with comments.
