One of the reasons we dropped it was that the spec didn't seem to make
sense. So if there's a proposal, first it would have to wait until we
can get sane multi-locale support and then it would have to explain how
it actually does what the spec says.

I don't think there's a definite TODO in that.

We don't seem to have had a single squawk since we dropped it, so I
suspect it will be little mourned.

cheers
