Comment #12 on issue 459 by erik.corry: localeCompare implementation  
differs from other browsers
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=459

I'm not sure what a better API would be.  It's already possible to provide  
your own
comparison function to the sort routines, which can be adjusted to the data  
your
users want sorted.  Since some countries (eg Germany) have more than one  
way to sort
(eg. phone book order vs. dictionary order) I don't think this is the sort  
of place
where a standards committee can profitably venture.

Regardless of our opinions around locale (I have lived in 3 countries and  
always
found any use of locale to be worse than useless) we should aim to be  
compatible with
Safari unless there is a really good reason not to be.
