Europe (anything but south) is definitely a dangerous place to live at..

Besides YU being valid or not, there is the problem that ISO codes are
used in the XML file format to represent locale dependent settings. We
shouldn't use some deprecated ISO code and then later change it to
something else, doing so would only cause problems.

See above, I object to keep on using sr_YU, not even temporarily. True,
right now we have an internal assignment of Serbian Latin to sh_YU and
Serbian Cyrillic to sr_YU, but that, up to now, is not offered as a
default document language and not as a number format's locale, only as a
character attribute. I'd change the ISO code assignment for OOo1.1.1 to
have proper values as soon as possible, at least sr_CS should be used,
and have a fallback for old YU values.
I simply don't know yet what to do with the address@hidden stuff, not for
1.1.1 and not for 2.0, maybe sticking with sh_YU for the first time is
appropriate, as the Latin script seems to be only a substitue if
Cyrillic isn't available.

Why? 'cs' is not an ISO code for Serbian language, it stands for Czech
and should remain so. Native language pages should be named after the
language code, but never the country code.

A little bit ;-) This keeps on being a mess somehow..
