It is standard in many languages APIs, I agree. It is not at all
standard in UI's though.  Many users will not be programmers and will
not be accustomed to switching between English and American.

Whether that's a reason to complicate it or not I'm not sure... But
it's not as simple as 'standard in technical use'.

I do think it's reasonable to pick the most common (American spelling)
for initial merges though.
