Yes, that would be exactly the same; in the one case you are using an
obscure language/region to stand in for a not-yet-released OS, so it
makes a nice work around. But note the rest of my post and a reply on
the list regarding NDA. Obscurity might not defend you against an NDA
violation.
The fact that Apple doesn't want forward-compatible releases (as it
were, in this case) is why (I think) they don't use that nifty mechanism
for anything other localization.

AFAIK, it would be equivalent to the code loading mechanism I
