What do we do with locales that don't fit into this scheme? Catalan Valencian |
| 16 |
is one such locale. |

Packages currently use modifiers (ca@valencia) or ISO 3166-1 reserved area |
| 18 |
(ca_XV) or something entirely different (ca_valencia). |
| 19 |
ISO 3166-1:ES defines ES-VC as region code, so maybe ca_ES-VC would be best. |

Though a quick Google search didn't find any major usage of that either. |
