I've applied all of the following:

    locale.5: document class in LC_CTYPE
    locale.5: document default_missing
    locale.5: document character transliteration
    locale.5: document map "totitle"
    locale.5: copy is not exclusive in LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE
    locale.5: document map to_inpunct, map to_outpunct
    locale.5: document outdigit and alt_digits
    locale.5: document charclass and charconv
    locale.7: LC_CTYPE determines transliteration rules on glibc systems

and also this one that you just sent

    locale.5: fix country_isbn format

Are there more to come?

Help me here ;-). Do you see a problem? If yes, what is it?

Thanks,
