JDK-6875847 - RFE: Java Locale Enhancement
Description
When an application tries to load a resource bundle, the fallback or candidate locales can be specified with the new ResourceBundle.Control class.  However no such control over the locale fallback mechanism of the locale sensitive services, which is defined in the class description of java.util.spi.LoacleServiceProvider class.  This inconsistency needs to be resolved.
Comments
EVALUATION It was fixed along with the Java Locale Enhancement feature in JDK7.

EVALUATION I got a reply from the customer that this is not an issue for the Mustang Locale Sensitive Services SPI. They want a way to specify how the locale sensitive APIs fall back when they search JRE's resources. We may consider this RFE in a later release.

EVALUATION Asking the customer whether there is an inconsistency with the SPI, or they only need a way to specify the locale fallback strategy for the locale sensitve *API*.
