Good idea. Bug filed: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=910192

As mentioned in the third paragraph of the bug description, a
non-localizable override pref is probably still needed so that the
user--not the localizer--can deal with situations like using an en-US build
in a non-windows-1252 context. (E.g. because you are a developer and always
use en-US builds despite being located in a non-windows-1252 country.)
