Re: Question on UCA collation parameters (strength = tertiary, alternate = shifted)

In addition, the default setting in Table 14, UTS #10, 6.0.0 are

  strength: tertiary
  alternative: shifted

But the setting won't generate the conformant behavior specified by
CollationTest_SHIFTED.txt

I think when alternative is set to shifted, strength should be set to
quaternary (as default) unless it is explicitly set.

Thanks,
Matt
