We're aware that not all Webkit ports use ICU, let alone non-Webkit Javascript engines/html+css rendering engines. Therefore, we'll be careful not to bind our APIs too tightly to ICU although our implementations (JSC and V8) will use ICU. 

Moreover, we do not expect to get the identical results across implementations because different (although comparable) locale data will be used. Rather, our goal is to have universal syntax and consistent support available for i18n of browser-based applications. However, we do expect different implementations to have comparable 'outputs' (of API calls). And, one potential (widely used) converging point would be CLDR (http://cldr.unicode.org )
