Description

The current explanation is very specific to dates and numbers. As Globalize becomes a broader i18n library, we should improve this section.

Research direction
Review the current 'Why globalization?' section in the documentation, read ECMA 402 section 4.1 (http://www.ecma international.org/ecma 402/1.0/ECMA 402.pdf), and update the explanation to reflect the broader i18n scope of Globalize beyond dates and numbers. Consider adding examples of other localization aspects like currency, timezones, etc.
