    What is the outcome of ordering mixed language tags and also plain 
xsd:string?
    
    Changing `NodeValueString` looks dubious - `NodeValueString` is an 
xsd:string and can be used in expressions involving strings. `makeNode()` is 
lossy so round tripping Node<->NodeValue loses the collation.
    
    A `NodeValueLangString` is much safer (`NodeValue.makeNode` returns 
`"foo"@fi`).
    
    I still think there is merit in `ORDER BY arq:collation("fi", ?label)` 
approach. Have the app say what collation it wants. I like this because it 
means `xsd:string`s can be sorted by locale collation,even differently for 
different users.
