Description

The ECMAScript Internationalization API, specified in standard ECMA-402, provides collation (string comparison), number formatting, and date and time formatting for JavaScript applications, and lets applications choose the language and tailor the functionality to their needs.

This bug tracks its implementation in SpiderMonkey.

This bug has outlived its usefulness -- we ship support for this, and while there are omissions it's mostly for new stuff that didn't even exist when "implement this new standard" was originally on the plate. Plus there's a whole component for this now, even.

I'm going to leave dependencies as they are so as not to spam people, but let's stop adding new ones.

removing dev-doc-needed from here; we've covered most of this in the individual implementation bugs.
