Tino:

The problem is not which baseline to use, although I would think that it 
should be 10.3, but whether the user started with 10.1 and then upgraded 
to 10.2/3.  This causes MacOSX to send the wrong value for the system's 
language setting.  Under 10.1, if I were using English (American) the 
result would be English.  Under 10.2/3/4 the result should be en_US, but 
if you start with 10.1 the result will not change.  Thus, if you want to 
query a system that was upgraded, you have to check for both English and 
en_US.  Otherwise, you will get an invalid language value found when 
installing OOo 2.0.
And as far as I know, the baseline version for OOo 2.0 is 10.3.  OOo 2.0 
has problems building on 10.2, from what I remember going through the IZ.
