Drew, your help is much appreciated. However, there's a small "but":
I talked about this issue with Fred Toussi, the HSQLDB maintainer, a while ago.
First thing I stumbled upon in the current implementation is this strange and
weird usage of prose names for the collations, instead of simply specifying an
ISO locale. This is something I'd like to be changed in the course of fixing the
issue - the old prose names would be kept for compatibility only.
Second, Fred told me about ongoing implementations in the 1.9 branch, regarding
collations. One thing I promised to do when time permits (which wasn't the case
so far, unfortunately) is research about collation features in other DBMS, so we
don't re-invent collation in HSQL.
So, I don't think a short fix would be the best solution here. If you're
interested in helping, then I would like to forward you the small conversation I
had with Fred, in the hope you can participate. Especially the collection of
collation-usages in other DBs is something which I think would perfectly fit
your competence ...
