Yes it is a technical pain in the arse.The question is one of primacy. Is it
more important to provide service or are technical considerations of the
most importance. Yes, we discussed this in the past and we did not agree
then and we do not agree now.
I wonder how our English language readers would react when the sort order
for their lists would be wrong.
Thanks,

It does not, it sorts according to the partial UCA implementation.
We have discussed CLDR in the past - it is a huge collection of distinct
collations, and even though it is possible to use LDMLs from CLDR project,
it is PITA, due to both partial UCA support and continuous effort to rebuild
indexing, resolve conflicts, and hit all sorts of obscure "linguists are not
computer scientists" problems :)
