> getLocaleName does not return consistent results depending on the platform.
> The documentation should be changed to state that it should return a BCP 47 representation of Unicode locale identifier (see http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/#Unicode_locale_identifier - section "3.3.1 BCP 47 tag conversion") to identify the culture  of the user, and disambiguate the region as a place.
> Implementation should be changed accordingly. 
> WindowsPhone 8 implementation is incorrect. Returning country code is not enough. It should use CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name.
> Android and iOS should use "dashes" instead of  "underscores".
