With 'namespace' I meant only the module when the locale is changed, so
it not affects other scripts that run at the same time on the system. I
misunderstood locale as being some system-wide 'registry' which
remembers the changes in it. (have some vague, bad memories about
changing locale in an ASP application... :-)

Thank you,
