<i18n dev> [8] Review request for JEP 127: Improve Locale Data Packaging and Adopt Unicode CLDR Data

[Steven R. Loomis]

Hello,
 Some questions,

 - Is there a reason that a new parser was written, rather than leverage
the existing CLDR tools (which are themselves written in Java)?  (I've
already suggested discussion with the CLDR-TC.. I know I've been personally
more than a bit sparse, but, you know where we 'live')

 - It's incorrect to specifically open, for example,
common/supplemental/numberingSystems.xml
( NUMBERING_SOURCE_FILE ) . You should not rely on the specific
organization. See Appendix C of TR35, however, I filed
http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/ticket/5189 to clarify the situation.

More later when I get a chance, but definitely good work here.

Steven
