It would be very useful to say have a locale called U or similiar that would have standard things like: encoding UTF-8, ISO 0601 date time, A4 paper size, en-US language, etc.

Does anyone have a an easy recipe to define my own?

We have C.UTF-8 ("Computer English") which is not quite there (date/time and paper size do not match) but at least is common and omnipresent.
