This bug report appears to address all the issues. I'm not sure what to
make of the comment, 'To be fixed in DUCET in due course'. Does a similar
proposal need to be made to change the default collation algorithm - this
bug report appears to be restricted to the Tamil locale. Would the
proposal have to be phrased as a bug report?
I believe that the culturally most neutral sorting for the *Tamil script* is
the Tamil sorting. (I'm not sure at what point the use of the Tamil script
for another language becomes an affront to the Tamil language/people.)
Richard.
