Regarding the value of "de" versus "DE_DE",
you may also see examples using "de-de", "de_DE", and other
variants.  I'm not clear that there is a single standard that everyone is
to adhere to, which has led to the "too much flexibility" problem you
mention.

The most current standard I know of is RFC 5646 (http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5646.txt),
which uses the hyphen but mandates neither a specific capitalization rule nor
the use of the country code. I've never actually seen a published standard that
used the underscore, but I have seen it in practical use.
