Hi,

For Finnish (and maybe others) I also added partitive case month names
and the rule for backwards compatibility to force nominative names if
a month format code is immediately preceded or followed by a literal
character, as discussed with Harri Pitkänen in this thread.

Overview:

* Locale data:
  * nominative (nouns) month names always given in <MonthsOfYear>
    element
  * optional genitive case month names in <GenitiveMonths> element,
    following the <MonthsOfYear> element; if not given take nominative
    names
  * optional partitive case month names in <PartitiveMonths> element,
    following the <GenitiveMonths> element, or following the
    <MonthsOfYear> element if the <GenitiveMonths> element is not
    present; if not given take genitive case names, or nominative if
    genitive names aren't defined
    * currently known partitive case matters in Finnish locales

* Rules for use of nominative / genitive / partitive case month names in
  number formatter when encountering MMM or MMMM:
  * MMM or MMMM immediately preceded or followed by a literal character
    other than space => nominative month name (noun), for Excel and
    backwards compatibility such as Finnish MMMM"ta"
  * no day of month (D or DD) present in format code => nominative name
  * day of month (D or DD) after MMM or MMMM => genitive name
    * no genitive names defined => nominative names
  * day of month (D or DD) before MMM or MMMM => partitive name
    * no partitive names defined => genitive names
      * no genitive names defined => nominative names


I hope that's sufficient.

  Eike
