Technically I’d agree. In practice I think people would progressively bring back crazy use cases and requests that would need to be dealt in the model.

For instance date formats are a complete mess only because people value different informations. Even in a countey with a single official representation, people will write checks with shorthands and mixing of different norms.

It’s also interesting to look at China would try to simplify pretty hard, and still ended up with a tangled mess (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_China)
