+			- USEROPTIONS: Currency symbol 
+			- USEROPTIONS: digit grouping symbol (thousands separator)
+			- USEROPTIONS: decimal symbol 
+		- DATE TIME FORMATTING REQUIRED INFO
+			- LOCALETEXT: Month names in full
+				- Month abbreviations 3 characters maybe can just use first 3 of names above

+			- LOCALETEXT: AM / PM symbols
+			- USEROPTIONS: Short date template
+			- USEROPTIONS: Short time template
+

+	- All major browsers support Intl api now:
+		- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl
 	- IDENTIFY: what needs to be localized besides display titles?
 		- Currency input, display
 		- decimal number input, display
 		- Date and times MONTH names in input (and some ancillary text maybe like "year")
