Hi All,

http://sites.google.com/site/openjdklocale/design-notes/resource-bundle-lookup-order

I put the comprehensive Norwegian lookup order list in the section 
"Special Case 3: Norwegian Locales".

The algorithm used for this is also described after the table.

    * If request contains language "no", but not matching pattern
      "no_NO_NY[_*]", create the default candidate list, then insert
      locale replacing "no" with "nb" at each level after "no" version.
    * If request contains language "nb", create the default candidate
      list, then insert locale replacing "nb" with "no" at each level
      after "nb" version.
    * If request matches pattern "no_NO_NY[_*]", insert "nn_NO[_*]"
      before every level. Once it reaches "no_NO_NY", then append "nn",
      "no_NO" and "no" in this order.
    * If request matches pattern "nn_NO[_*], insert "no_NO_NY[_*]" after
      every level. Once it reaches "no_NO_NY", then append "nn", "no_NO"
      and "no" in this order.
    * If request contains language "nn", but region is not "NO", append
      "no" at the end of default candidate list.

Please review the list and algorithm by the end of today. If you have 
any questions, please post your response in this ML.
