global/intl.css is a good place to optimize localized user interface
however some times this is specific to platform (especially for fonts).
Thus have an intl.css in global-platform/intl.css would be fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
Currently intl.css will be applied to all platforms, and it has a font setting 
(with some Windows specific fonts listed there) for window class.

Expected Results:  
It would be better if we have an 
@import url("chrome://global-platform/locale/intl.css");
and use more platform specific fonts in global-platform/intl.css.

Although we localizers can add extra files in language packs, intl.css is
in toolkit component instead of browser/mail thus I think it is better
to be made official to all locales.
