My thought was that, as in the Linux kernel, each developer would simply spell words as he preferred, and then people with different preferences could use locali[sz]ation to adjust to taste. But I can't complain about this resolution either, as long as you are also satisfied with it.

Hmm. I didn't reali[sz]e that there were Australia-specific forms of technical language, but of course it makes sense that there would be. If it's not too much trouble, would you mind giving an example of a difference, simply for my personal enlightenment?

OK. I think that the acceptance of ctype_l and friends into relevant standards should make this easier than it would have been say a year ago.
