Yes, right-assoc does exist too, and the standard supports the DBCS varieties 
in charmaps as an election, even. There's also medials, which have left and 
right associativity, and a number of other types, depending on primary script 
family. I agree with your last point that such sequence conversions are 
plausible, it's just how has no portable specification currently, it is left as 
unspecified.

Please look at my former message.  It stands that \Uu is ISO
10646, and that does not represent characters but codepoints,
multiple of which may be necessary to represent one real
character, which then may be a valid character in the locale
encoding.
