This is not so. In LC_IDENTIFICATION it is the ISO 639 and ISO 3166
language and country codes that are being used.

This actually defeats the purpose of LC_IENTIFICATION, which is to
identify which format that is being used in each category, by specifying
which format specification that is being used. "uk_UA" is not at
standard for locale formats. "i18n" refers to TR 14652, which is about
to be published. You may then use "i18n:2003" to refer the current TR.

LC_NUMERIC was not changed with TR 14652, so with a specification of
"posix:1993" you cover both the posix standard and TR 14652.
