That requirement will probably really annoy speakers of some languages.

Subject: how would you state requirements involving sorting?

Suppose you help somebody write requirements for a piece of software and you 
see an item:
Sorting. Diacritic marks need to be stripped when sorting titles

You know that sorting is a lot more complicated than removing diacritics, and 
that giving the directive above to a naive developer is going to lead to 
trouble. You know you want to end up with an implementation involving the UCA 
with a tailoring based on the locale. How would you suggest to reword the 
requirement?

Thanks,
Eric.
