Implementations often use the same character definitions for all
locales using the same character set -- such as the Unicode character
data file, for Unicode-based locales.  I think changing this may be a
tough sell for many implementers, just given the sheer number of
characters (and bikeshed-painting debates about which particular
character class or collation element should include which characters
in which locales would not be welcome).
