	That's the idea of unicode -- that there would be 1 large encoding
to hold all of the worlds symbols.  That started over a decade ago.

	That they would also specific collation order for each covered
alphabet should be no big surprise.  They also cover capitalization rules
among other features.

There already is one.

The Unicode specification already specifies collation order for all the 
languages it covers.

I'm pointing out that for the Latin character set the A-Z sort before a-z.

This isn't the case under SuSE.
