Description
The default locale under Firefox 2 for Hebrew is 'he' (without country code). When the dojo locale is set to 'he' using this information (request header), dojo.cldr.supplemental.getFirstDayOfWeek returns a wrong day (Monday), whereas the Hebrew week starts on Sunday. I've investigated the source code of the function, it seems it is due to the missing country part ('il') in the passed locale. There are a few arbitrary mappings of language-only locales to a country in the code, but none for Hebrew ('he' to 'il').
Note that IE 6 and 7 correctly propose 'he-il' for Hebrew.

So the first day of week conventions aren't really by language, but by country, and as you point out, browsers don't always specify a country. The current behavior isn't really wrong (in theory, one might be a Hebrew speaker in another country) and I dread adding to the arbitrary mappings we have, but it seems like adding he->il is a good idea.
