All those ones you mention surely did their part in the days when all
was needed was a coarse-ishly delimited set of basic _culture_-related
tags (like, currency, thousands, and date format). In days where the
more and more fine distinctions are being set up in the _language_ area
(and more and more folks sort of get their share of ramplight from
those), not quite so.
