Internationalization: Sync'ing with CLDR on date element names

# Norbert Lindenberg (13 years ago)

John Emmons has provided the following comment on the date and time format component names used in Intl.DateTimeFormat objects:

Since the spec states that CLDR data is the recommended source for implementation, I would proposed that the allowed values in Table 3, Section 12.1.1.1 be modified to be identical with the names in CLDR, so that there is no confusion, and that if CLDR were to add additional lengths over time, we could do so with no confusion for implementers. Also, examples from English would be helpful here. I would propose changing as follows: ( conforming to the upcoming CLDR 22 release )

Weekday - ( wide (Sunday) - abbreviated (Sun) - Short (Su) - Narrow (S) ) Era - wide - abbreviated - narrow Month - "2-digit", "numeric", "wide", "abbreviated", "narrow"

For a bit of discussion, see ecmascript#442
