Now that you mentioned it, there's something I was thinking about for a 
long time now -- it's probably a sign that we need to mark all 
single-byte locales as set in stone, and stop regenerating the source 
for them as well as adding more and more workarounds against utf-8 
charmap.  This is something I'm going to look into eventually as I 
believe it will make updating to new CLDR releases much easier, that is, 
if I'm not missing something here.
