[loc-en-dev] unit tests

[Steven R Loomis]

Hi Doug,
 I think it would be fine to check them into the repository first and just
paste the link here to fetch them over HTTP or mercurial. Something
buildable would be great to get things going.

I've started to write some unit tests for the syntax createLocale accepts,
based on Yoshito's writeup.  I think it's a good way to work through the
details so we can understand exactly what is supposed to happen.

I'm thinking about the best way to share this for discussion.  One
possibility is to check the tests in to our repository, so we can all try
them out.  They'll fail a good part of the time, since there's no
implementation (I'm developing something just to flesh this out, but we
might want to get the implementation from somewhere else).  This seems ok
to me as long as the tests and the main repository build.  This makes it
easy for us to update our local copies.

Another way is to pass the patches through this mailing list for discussion
first, and only apply them if people are happy with them.

What do folks think?
