Has anyone had a look at the OpenI18N/ICU locale data? The locales there are all UTF-8 and have java rule based collation data, so they *might* be useful for creating a more comprehensive (and accurate) set of sort modules? The downside is this data is pretty rough ATM but does seem to be improving slowly. I guess p6 is going to use ICU as the basis for I18N - sure hope the APIs are easier though :) Cheers -- Rich [EMAIL PROTECTED]
