Re: 10646 & Unicode

Take a look at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr10/

Very broadly, it is something like the following. This is only a sketch; =
for
details see the above document.

- a much more thorough introduction to multilingual sorting issues
- much more information about performance and implementation practices
- how to apply collation to searching and matching
- uniform handling of canonical equivalents
- automatic rearrangement for Thai, Lao
- completely ignorable characters and irrelevant combining characters don=
't
interfere with contractions
- well-formedness criteria for tables (disallowing tables that would prod=
uce
results where X < Y and yet XY =3D=3D YX)
- variable weighting (allowing punctuation to be ignored or not)
