I will certainly consider open sourcing the integration;
Awesome. Please, keep me posted on its progress.
figuring out a "default" currency to use for a given locale
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-numbers.html#Supplemental_Currency_Data
supplemental/currencyData.json has a region mapping with currencies. You can use that data to figure out the default currency of a region.
I think that
This could live in Globalize. Needs a good API. Feel free to submit an issue proposing one. Take into account http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-numbers.html#Currencies
and a better locale to bundle mapping
This could live in cldrjs. Needs a good API.
A way to manage currencies
Alternatively, simply don't worry about it when we land (if we land) our built-in cache support. Currently implemented on globalizejs/globalize#436.
Do you have any timeline on when this might be incorporated?
Good question :P, I've created an exclusive PR for cache support globalizejs/globalize#470 (I've decoupled it from 436)
The cache support depends on PR#436 and I hope we're close to land it. So, basically we should decide if the benefits of the cache support outweigh its addition.

Yes, I'm planning to pre-create and cache the various formatters I need (and allow for lazy creation of others as necessary). That's part of what I was asking about in my original issue linked above.
I will certainly consider open sourcing the integration; at the moment it's a bit specific to our code as it has some LCID to locale string mapping, so I'll have to think about whether I can refactor it to be more widely useful.
One other related challenge I've had is figuring out a "default" currency to use for a given locale. Is that something that is defined/available via cldr data? I found the way to see all available currencies for a locale, but I didn't see any obvious way to pick out which one was the current "default". I think that -- and a better locale to bundle mapping -- would be important for a library like this to be useful to a lot of folks.
