+All files within this directory were derived from the Common Locale
+Data Repository (see http://unicode.org/cldr) The CLDR project is
+responsible for the accuracy and maintenance of this data. A copy
+of this data is checked into the Dojo util project as a zip file.
+The XML data is transformed to the JSON-style Javascript you see
+under the nls/ directory. These Javascript files include data
+necessary to do things like format and parse dates, numbers, and
+currencies in different locales to consider cultural differences.
+They are used by other modules in core Dojo such as dojo.date,
+dojo.number and dojo.currency. It usually is not necessary to use
+dojo.cldr directly.
+
+An arbitrary subset of locales have been checked in to dojo/cldr
+under svn. To support other locales, the full set may be generated
+by using xslt scripts in the util/buildscripts/cldr/ ant script.
+Hundreds of locales are supported by the CLDR project.
