 ''(This is not a ticket per se, just a request for opinions)''

 Tamil is currently listed as two variants in locales.php,

 *
 [http://glotpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/locales/locales.php#L1568
 Tamil (India)]
 *
 [http://glotpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/locales/locales.php#L1579
 Tamil (Sri Lanka)]

 Granted, the wp-locales are different, but they're using the same ISO
 codes (ta/tam), which feels wrong to me, aside from potential deeper
 conflicts in code. Also despite the fact that Tamil (India) hasn't been
 maintained/used thus far, it has been now
 [http://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2013/06/01/i-need-validators-and-
 contributors-for-tamil-i/ requested], which could or could not open a can
 of worms.

 I'm also not sure about the $ta and $ta_lk variables names.
