Well, the default values in ISO 30112 are not associated with any language, so
the i18n file cannot be used with locale-gen as far as I've tried.
A regional locale is useful for those who want to quickly apply language-specific
features while skipping most country-specific features. There are two English
language CLDR locales for a region rather than a country: en_001 (world) and
en_150 (Europe). Most importantly, they use a point as a decimal separator,
which is not the case with i18n. They also don't display the ISO 8601 date format.
