Possibly. But I don't know whether Windows supports locale names with a
modifier at all; therefore it would require testing. And since I guess
that there are only few users of such a locale, this testing does not
have high priority.

Yes, that's why I purposely kept things as simple as needed. For an
application with actual users, the XML file can be as complicated as
Microsoft wants it.
