Don't know if "l10n standard" was a good expression.
I spent some time taking a look in the internet, trying to find what
kind of localization is more common. For instance, for Brazilian
Portuguese we can find: pt_BR and pt-BR.
The first one is the way used in linux/glib. The second one is used by
Windows, Java, Mozilla, etc.

There is no explicit restriction on libosinfo, only in the functions
name as: get/set_l10n_language.

What do you suggest? The format expected for Windows and Linuxes are
different and we should treat it in the lib, avoiding nagging
application about that.
