you can define your own sort order (in mkiv this is somewhat easier
because there we're in unicode space)

personally i have no plans for using xindy (i looked into it real long
ago but at that time it was rather latex oriented and could not carry
enough info around which i want in context)
currently the index mechanism in mkiv still uses the same tex interface
when typesetting the index itself, but i will provide a more extensive
mechanism (first i redo the sectioning and list); at that point we will
also have one-pass index handling
of course, if someone wants to write a m-xindy, i can provide additional
interfaces/hooks if needed
