Absolutely it could and should. %c and %x and %X would be the obvious 
first candidates along with the alternate %{...} format for other CLDR 
formats.

Dan, please consider working at extending DateTime::Locale to include 
the duration formats and then working at helping me to extend 
DateTime::Format::Duration to make use of that data.

Alternately, once CLDR duration locales are imported into 
DateTime::Locale, write a module named something like 
DateTime::Format::Duration::Locale that makes use of the data.

The normalisation functions in DateTime::Format::Duration give it its 
real power so I would suggest you wrap the _as_deltas methods in 
whatever you decide to do.

Cheers!
