If you are going to re-organise the nomenclature and apply localization, 
may I suggest that for country and language designation you follow the 
ISO standard. As LibO is using an ISO standard document format, it would 
then stand to reason to follow and promote ISO standards.

The ISO country-code standard can be found here: 
http://www.iso.org/iso/english_country_names_and_code_elements

The ISO language-code standard can be found here: 
http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/codes.asp *

* SIL is the caretaker of the ISO language-code standard and has 
formulated over the years 3 code conventions. In order to circumvent the 
ISO country-code designation, I would suggest the SIL language-code 3 
digit standard be adopted (almost all of the world's languages have been 
coded).

In using the ISO standard, LibO would be standing behind the ISO 
standard that sets the convention for its document format. This will 
legitimize even more the ISO standard.

I also think that the LibO should also take part in the ISO steering 
committees on document format as it's interest in a properly run ISO 
organization as well as a well-documented document format is in its core 
interest. It is what differentiates the LibO suite from the other 
non-compliant document format suites.
