Why these defaults?

The country code comes from ISO 3166. Unicode CLDR supplies presentation-oriented locale, currency, paper, date, language, calendar, numbering, and direction metadata. Defaults reduce setup time; they do not decide what a valid document must contain.

Recorded official or regional-official language tags: es.

Limited guidance reviewed

Document vocabulary and checks

SAT's national CFDI 4.0 page supports the cited fiscal particulars and identifiers. Record retention and a claim-level review of the current electronic issuance, certification and cancellation boundary are not yet evidenced here, so this pack remains partial. Sector complements, export cases and current SAT catalogs remain transaction-specific checks.
