 !wording
 
+Modify A.19(8/3):
+
+The *active locale* is the locale associated with the [active] partition {of the
+current task}.
+
+Add an AARM Implementation Note:
 
+Some environments define both a system locale and the locale of the current user.
+For such environments, the active locale is that of current user if any;
+otherwise (as in a partition running on a server without a user), the system
+locale should be used.
 
 !discussion
 
+Systems that distinguish between the current user locale and 
+the system locale may also provide means to determine which locale is
+more appropriate for an executing program. For instance, on Microsoft Windows,
+GetThreadLocale will return the most appropriate locale for the current thread;
+the result of that routine can be used in GetLocaleInfo to determine the results
+to return from calls to Language and Country.
+
+Ada.Locales is preelaborated in order to maximize flexibity for client usage.
+However, a preelaborated package is not restricted to return the same value for
+all partitions for a given function. Subsequent calls to the same preelaborated
+function may in fact return different values even if the calls are made from
+within the same partition. This applies to locales as well; if the locale is
+changed by some means (perhaps by using an appropriate OS-specific API), the
+results of Language and Country may change for a running partition.

+A @b<locale> identifies a geopolitical place or region and its associated
+language, which can be used to determine other internationalization
+related characteristics.
