However, one issue is that windows basically will always have SOME setting -- even if just "English". Which would cause locale to report 'en_US' or something. So you'd never actually SEE the "default default" of C.UTF-8 take effect.
You'd see it if you unset LANG and an application calls setlocale(LC_ALL, ""). Linux is similar. In Fedora 14, for instance, the standard startup files set LANG via /etc/sysconfig/i18n; but there is also a "default default" of C that's used if you unset LANG.
