While trying to output a value as ISO calendar using a
default language, I came across a little niche in the xslt
specification that I find hard to interpret right.
It turns out in fact that if you call format-date() with two arguments,
Saxon defaults the language to:
* the language of the default Java locale provided that there is a Saxon
localization for this language
But if you supply () as the value of the third argument, Saxon defaults the
language to:
* the language of the default Java locale whether or not there is a Saxon
localization for this language
The default should be the same in both cases, I will fix this.
(I did some interesting but not very successful experiments trying to
configure my PC to use Dutch. All I achieved was to select a US keyboard
mapping, which doesn't match the keys on my keyboard...)
