AnswerCurrentCulture vs CurrentUICulture: controls

    I know that the CurrentCulture is for controlling Currency and Date formatting

    I also know that CurrentUICulture is for controlling text (which resource file to read).

    However, I note that when setting the CurrentCulture to (say) nl-NL (Dutch) and the CurrentUICulture to (say) en-GB (British English), a Calendar control will be displayed with the days of the week as "ma, di, wo, do, vr, za, zo". [Tested using ASP.NET calendar control and WPF]

    I guess that this is "by design", but I'm not sure what the benefit is...
