en_GB.xml Gregorian Date Formats

[George S. via CLDR-Users]

Thanks for responding. I knew I'd gone down this road before. Drat.

I'll make the same comment I made three years ago:

It would be nice if the en_GB.xml file referenced it's parent so that 
mortals might have some idea of where to look. Having the relationship 
squirreled away in a file in another directory with a non-obvious name 
isn't very handy.
