As a UK resident it has occasionaly hit me how some bits of plan9
(and there are only a few) are US centric.

perhaps we could have somthing like /adm/country/ (analogous to /adm/timezone)
which would have various config files for things like radar, areacodes/stdcodes
zipcodes/postcodes, weather, tv etc.

I wouldn't want to follow Linux's LC_COLLATE and friends but plan9 standard way
of handling such stuff might be nice.

just my £0.02 worth.
