This proposal is an addendum to the previous proposal.  This addendum 
describes the proposed ICU4J API on the class com.ibm.icu.test.Collator. 
Semantics are the same for API with corresponding names.

Applies to ICU4J 3.0 release.

public class Collator {

  public static final ULocale[] getAvailableULocales();

  public static final String[] getKeywords();

  public static final String[] getKeywordValues(String keyword);

  public static final ULocale getFunctionalEquivalent(String keyword,
                                                      ULocale locID,
                                                      boolean 
isAvailable[]); 

  public static final ULocale getFunctionalEquivalent(String keyword,
                                                      ULocale locID);
