 The LA flag in the manufacturing data can at best a hint. It is the POSIX
 locale (LANG environment variable) to use as default; if not present, the
 "en_US.UTF-8" locale will be used. (Older systems have values like "USA"
 and "ESP" in this tag; those values should be treated as equivalent to
 "en_US.UTF-8" and "es_AR.UTF-8", respectively. We need a table of all
 previous values ... .)

 But this may take us from always wrong, to sometimes correct, an
 improvement over a English centric view of the world.
