i was going through some patches Gentoo has for coreutils to figure out which 
are outdated/pointless/etc... with 5.3.0 when i came across this patch from 
Mandrake:
--- src/ls.c
+++ src/ls.c
@@ -1612,5 +1612,7 @@
 
       if (! style)
    if (! (style = getenv ("TIME_STYLE")))
+   if (getenv ("POSIXLY_CORRECT"))
      style = "posix-long-iso";
+     else style = "locale";
 

ignoring the broken formatting, i wonder if this change has been sent to the 
list before for consideration (and i just couldnt find it in the archives) ? 

the idea seems OK to me; the `ls -l` default format follows the user's locale 
settings unless the env var POSIXLY_CORRET is set in which case we go with 
the standard 'posix-long-iso' format
