The standard English names are certainly useful in a UI for a default locale
like the POSIX "C" locale, or the default "" Locale in Java. They are not
good for any other locale (including the "en" English locale).
The standard French names for ISO/IEC 10646 are not that bad, and do qualify
for the French "fr" locale.
Can't we have a repository of NamesList files for each locale? And then
start a true "NamesList_en.txt" for English, and "NamesList_fr.txt" for
French, keeping the "NamesList.txt" (or .lst) for the default locale, and
then later support other locales as well?
