At the PIM Sprint Alex passed the byte formatting TODO on to me which
I've started coding, I'll try push a review in a couple of days:

* New class KFormat will be added to KCoreAddons
* Will use tr() rather than i18n(), which is proving the hard part
* Will ignore any user settings, only formats as requested via api
* Will have static methods for formatByteSize(),
formatDecimalDuration(), formatSpelloutDuration() and
formatRelativeDate()

I'm still figuring out the tr() part and loading of catalogues and the
rest, especially for static methods.

As this doesn't involve moving any code (the old methods stay in
KLocale in kde4support), and nothing else in Frameworks calls these
methods, then in theory this shouldn't block the split from happening,
but I'll try get it in before then.

Cheers!

John.
