Support for alternate era names? #265

Open acdha opened 7 years ago

acdha commented 7 years ago

I'm not sure whether this is the appropriate spot versus https://github.com/tc39/ecma402 but I recently needed to enable eras in DateTimeFormat but need to use the secular names (BCE/CE) instead of the religious names (BC/AD). This was apparently codified in CLDR as a variant (http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/ticket/649) and the values are present in the CLDR-derived JSON files but unless I'm misreading https://github.com/andyearnshaw/Intl.js/blob/68514268e4f6b97a9323f6be9e75bd5a1216777a/src/12.datetimeformat.js#L1129 there appears to be no way to select them.

We will need some investigation here. If the data is in CLDR, and if browsers support this feature. Can you provide examples of the result from modern browsers?
