Comparison table with pre-CLDR locales

[Elsebeth Flarup via CLDR-Users]

Thanks!
I actually managed to find the snapshots in the waybackmachine - here's an example with links to the comparison charts for all the Beta 1.0 locales:

And definitely some interesting differences between the original, surveyed platforms especially in the date format area.

Thanks,
Elsebeth

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.
