There is no requirement that the locale strings for ICU need to be BCP
47.  ICU locale names like 'de@collation=phonebook' are also acceptable.

The reason they are not validated is that, as you know, ICU accepts any
locale string as valid.  You appear to have found a way to do some
validation, but I would like to see that code.
