Note that DateTime::Locale is quite behind the CLDR data these days. 
Fixing this is kind of a pain in the ass, since the LDML data keeps 
changing (sometimes changing internal structure) and the DateTime::Locale 
code does a completely half-assed job of parsing the LDML documents.

What I really want to do is write a proper Perl interface to libicu _or_ 
reimplement libicu in Perl, but that's a fairly big project.
