beforehand.
I'm willing to trust you but my experiences tell me that it is not
always available before hand and that every 2nd lib duplicate this
information (partially or completely. It has no bad side effect to
introduce some new methods for this purpose :)
Sure, but you need to remember that this means someone has to maintain
the mappings.
Mind you that pretty much any locale-related information is in the
CLDR already - language, territory and timezone mappings, for instance.
Be advised that attempting to map, for instance, a country code to a
locale is futile anyway. You can't map "ch" to anything. There's
de_CH, fr_CH and it_CH locales to choose from. Locales and country/
language/blah codes really are differnt things, and I've never needed
automated mappings so far (usually, the locale code itself is more
than enough).
