Here is a list of all the changes (more detailed explanations are in the ro_RO
file):

+2006-01-07  Eddy Petrisor  <eddy.petrisor@gmail.com>
+
+	* locales/ro_RO: Correct the sorting order of the letters a 
+	circumflex and a with breve according to the Romanian alphabet.
+	* locales/ro_RO: Do not use capital A with breve within day names
+	* locales/ro_RO: Use Romanian post-92 writing rules within day
+	* locales/ro_RO: After denomination starting with the 1st of July 2005,
+	int'l currency symbol is RON (1 RON = 10000 ROL);
+	see http://publications.eu.int/code/en/en-5000700.htm; 
+	* locales/ro_RO: groupping sign for thousands is "."; group of 3
+	* locales/ro_RO: short date format is %d.%m.%Y for RO
+	* locales/ro_RO: placed year before time in date_fmt
+	* locales/ro_RO: replaced %Z with %z in date formats because %Z is not
+	used nor widely known in Romania, and Romania uses daylight saving and
+	the difference is more obvious this way
+	* locales/ro_RO: changed abday for Saturday as i> looks bad and is
+	incorrect according to post-92 rules
+	* locales/ro_RO: do not capitalize months and days as it is not correct
+	in Romanian
+	* locales/ro_RO: A4 is the prefered paper type; metric system is used
+	(removed FIXMEs)
+	* locales/ro_RO: added country_name, country_car, lang_name and lang_ab
+	* locales/ro_RO: added name_mr, name_mrs, name_miss (name_ms omitted as
+	there is no such proper form in Romanian)
+	* locales/ro_RO: added explanation related to the cedilla/comma issue and
+	the reson why the transliteration is a good idea
+	* locales/ro_RO: changed default encoding to UTF-8 - this is the only 
+	encoding that supports all Romanian specific symbols (see encoding table
+	in Debian BTS, #119528 and the corresponding comments in #347173)
+	* locales/ro_RO: Corrected the name format (salutation abbreviation was
+	omitted)
+	* locales/ro_RO: Corrected postal_fmt (See address examples from
+	Romanian Ministries' sites in Debian BTS #347173)
+	* locales/ro_RO: first_weekday and first_workday are both Monday
+	* locales/ro_RO: added terminology and bibliographic codes for RO
+	reference: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/langcodes.html#qr
+	* locales/ro_RO: added isbn code
+	* locales/ro_RO: added postal code - RO (not 100% sure)

I am posing the patch here in case anybody wants to take a look over the whole
patch, faster.

I don't expect many changes to happen to it from now on (in other words, it
looks complete)
