In fact there are no locales which don't have a territory. in that case,
should fall back to POSIX IMHO.
I think falling back to en_US.UTF-8 is better in that case because
using POSIX uses ASCII encoding:
mfabian@ari:~
$ LC_ALL=POSIX locale charmap
ANSI_X3.4-1968
mfabian@ari:~
$ LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 locale charmap
UTF-8
mfabian@ari:~
$
Therefore, using POSIX can cause problems with display of non-ASCII stuff
in some cases:
mfabian@ari:~/tmp/test
$ LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 ls
täst 日本語
mfabian@ari:~/tmp/test
$ LC_ALL=POSIX ls
t??st ?????????
mfabian@ari:~/tmp/test
$
and some software then gets ASCII as the default encoding, for example
when reading files.
I think using en_US.UTF-8 is a better fallback.
