Comparison table with pre-CLDR locales

[Elsebeth Flarup via CLDR-Users]

Thanks!
I am not looking for any specific locale category or vendor for that matter. I just wanted to include a few of the most glaring differences between platforms that existed before CLDR as an illustration of the fragmentation at that time.

I am fairly certain that the CLDR project started by collecting a snapshot of the data from as many platforms as possible, and then went through a process of converging on the most common formats for each locale at the time. I believe the comparison table I remember was either used during that process, or was at least a side product of it. I think it was up for several years (I remember referring to it a number of times). Unfortunately I don't even remember the URL used at the beginning of the CLDR project, otherwise the Wayback Machine might be able to help.

Thanks,
Elsebeth
