[jsr372-experts] Re: [JAVASERVERFACES_SPEC_PUBLIC-1225] DISCUSSION - What to say about BCP47 Support?

Hi all,

The implementation is pretty much already done in Mojarra, but we have
not required BCP 47 support as it required JavaSE 7. Now that JSF 2.3 is
requiring JavaSE 8 we could easily state it is a requirement.

Howerver we do have specification adjustments that need to be done in
how <supported-locales> and <default-locale> in faces-config.xml need to
be parsed (as that is in the specification).

As I said I don't feel strong either way.

So far we have one EG member saying +1.

Thanks!

Kind regards,
Manfred Riem
