[fw-mvc] Zend_Currency

Hello,

I am having a problem with Zend_Currency, specifically with the locale
specification. For example if I set the currency to de_US it is
rejected and returns an exception. According to http://unicode.org/cldr/data/diff/supplemental/languages_and_territories.html
(the reference material for Zend_Currency pointed me here), de_US
_should_ be an accepted standard. I take it that the asterisk above
the Language code probably means that it is not an accepted universal
standard ... not really sure there though. I guess my questions are
several:

1. why is de_US not support in Zend_Currency when it is in the CLDR
spec?
2. is there any way to specify currency by country only in the event
that the given country for a language does not exist in the directory?
3. it seems to me that it is perfectly valid for a non english
speaking client to be based in a dollar based region such as the
united states but that combination of locale doesn't exist for all
languages ... does anyone know why?

Thanks for your help!!
