Locales - Solaris 8

Can anyone tell me the difference between the 2 Locales:

North American Partial Locales
en_US.ISO8859-1
en_US.ISO8859-15

Does it matter which one to use?

What are the differences?
Thanks.


-I have found the below info but I don't know what it means(Also no RFC# for 8859-15):

iso-8859-15 actually addresses the problem of Euro sign representation by changing a few assigned characters in iso-8859-1, as you can see in the iso-8859-15 link given by you. Actually both are the same most of the time.
