The only argument against this was that individual implementations of Unicode standard (i.e. mainly internal Windows methods or ICU library) could differ. However, is it really a problem? I'd say that it isn't. Unicode specifies exactly how characters should be sorted
Unfortunately, Unicode specifies no such thing. There is no such thing as _the_ Unicode collation, if only because collation rules depend on locale. Implementations vary significantly. In addition, Unicode keeps defining new characters. More recently defined characters may or may not be supported by a particular implementation's collation tables.
