Localization based on language rather than location, eh? That might just work for a lot of the world. It doesn't solve the US/Canada, UK and Aussie problem though. The three locations are too spread out for a publisher to easliy distribute physical copies, so you wind up back with the problem of offering physical rights only to two out of the three while not making any extra money off the English language ebook rights to the first, who now tack two more regions on to their sales.
