This appears to be an area with considerable implementation leeway. 
Therefore, for --enable-clocale=gnu, I'll do the error checking for 
incomplete locales as explained previously and document expected behavior.

For other locale models, more elaborate constructions are possible.

To me, substituting 'default' values into a named locale defeats the 
purpose of named locales entirely.
