The longer dispute make no sense. So references:
* ISO/IEC TR 14652
three first letters as month abbreviation for polish locales.
No roman numerals.
No arabic digits.
* CLDR, version 1.5
three first letters as month abbreviation for polish locales,
example for January:
<month type="1">sty</month>
<month type="1" alt="proposed-x1001" draft="unconfirmed">st</month>
<month type="1" alt="proposed-x1002" draft="unconfirmed">I</month>
Roman numerals and other abbreviation "st" marked as: "proposed",
"unconfirmed".
No arabic digits
Common Locale Data Repository are used by programs, authors and maintainers
today. GNU Classpath for example:
"The locale data for GNU Classpath is currently being auto-generated using
the data provided by the CLDR project. CLDR provides locale data in XML
files using LDML version 1.2. The tools gnu.localegen and gnu.currencygen
written by Guilhelm Lavaux convert that data into a format suitable for
GNU Classpath (These tools are located in the CVS module "cp-tools".)"
or
* http://developer.classpath.org/doc/java/util/Calendar-source.html
You must make decision please, what to do next. Be compatible with software
build against CLD Repository (in CLDR abmon is in accordance to ISO/IEC
TR 14652), or introduce new, nonexistent in programs version of polish
abbreviated month name.
The Unicode org CLDR are open, so young maintainer can convincing
people at:
* http://www.unicode.org/cldr/data/docs/web/survey_tool.html
And one question:
* What is Keld opinion about CLDR?
Best regards.
