Unicode has already gone a long way to define sane international collation and sorting sequences which make sense. The idea of localized differences has its origin in the sick minds of the POSIX-authors. sbase and ubase are one part of a protest against all this locale- madness. I agree there should be localized date-formats, but everything beyond that is mostly insane. We assume a UTF-8-locale and that's it. setlocale is just ugly and imho not the solution to this issue.
