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.
