If providers don't have names then I'm wondering if this system property can be used to select control ordering if I deploy my own provider. If not, then it makes me wonder if the definition of this system property needs to move to the implNote section.

Locale providers provided by users can all be loaded in the name of `SPI`, as they are the real implementation of `LocaleServiceProvider` class, so the order of the preference can be specified against JDK's `CLDR` provider. Does this answer your question?
