  Yes, I've been bitten more than once by these 'hidden' files
lurking around in /etc that affect the way programs work.

  So, my memory was not telling me a lie. I was almost sure I had
seen it in ISO 14652 when I wrote that LC_PAPER is in ISO 14652.
Later when I checked it, it's not there, which led me to believe
that my memory didn't serve me right once more.

  Anyway, what's the plan of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG20 on this?
