5) Begin to add locale support - a big job, probably a few facets at a time.
The issue is that, despite what you say, most or all of the standard library facets are not suitable for use with Unicode strings. For instance, the character classification and toupper-like operations need not be tied to a locale.
The new string algorithms to_upper etc do support locales. br Thorsten
