Is conformance to standards really a must in this area? The default
collation order is only usable for very few applications, such as
sorting a list of strings for a user interface. That's why I think
doing the obvious thing is more important than following some kind of
formal national standard.
You certainly cannot sort a dictionary based on a locale collation
order, or an index for a book.
