Until now (i.e. since I first learned about the CLDR project, that is
less than a month ago) I was never able to look at that data in a
human readable form. I simply don't know _how_.
Visually filtering the data trough .xml tags is extremely annoying and
time consuming and I have no time for such a method.
So how can I even know if the data that I can help for is correct or
not ? I mean the _whole_ data for my cultural region, not only erratic
things, like the [wrong] quotation mark or something else.
Sidenote: these days I am working at a technical implementation of a
"fresh" law here in Romania. I have to make reference to the Romani
alphabet (gypsy), Latin variant, used on the Romanian territory.
Can CLDR be of some help for me ? Until now, the only way I have
imagined (and tried, with relative success) is to visit the Romani
language university and obtain some sort of official reference for
this. This means to get copies of existing printed documents and make
visual Unicode associations, hoping to match correctly the physical
printed glyphs with the UCS descriptions.
