Hey, Neil!  I thought you'd fallen off the edge of the Earth, never to be
seen again!  I'm glad to see you on the lists again.

That said, I don't quite grasp your point.  Would you have us rewrite all
of the existing documentation to conform to a standard style for _each_
dialect, or "normalize" all new documentation into both dialects?  Given
that the differences are so minor, that doesn't really make sense to me.

As far as locales go, yes, en_us and en_uk are different locales and it
would be good to fully support them both.
