    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations because the expected output
    quotes each list value rather than the entire list.

    Running locale -k abday day on our implementation outputs:

    abday="Sun;Mon;Tue;Wed;Thu;Fri;Sat"
    day="Sunday;Monday;Tuesday;Wednesday;Thursday;Friday;Saturday"

    According to our reading of POSIX.2 lines 5525-5554 this
    is correct, since the required format is

    "%s=\"%s\"\n" <keyword name>, <keyword value>

    and that we output the keyword values separated in the output
    by semicolons (as per ll 5540-5541). We cannot see the requirement for
    additional quoting.

    Review Response
    We agree this is a test suite deficiency in the test
    suite version(s) listed.

    Since several implementations have branded using the test as written
    it might be a good idea to circulate this for review before approval.
    Perhaps the specified behavior is not what was intended.
