What is the formal relationship between the Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR) and International Components for Unicode (ICU)?
I ask for two reasons: I raised a ticket http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/ticket/5092 on a proposed clarificatory addition to UTS#35 'Locale Data Markup Language', and it has just been closed as a duplicate of an ICU issue. As no-one disputes that the problem is an issue relating to LDML, this seems bizarre. The ICU implementation of collation tailoring for changed ordering is bizarre in some complicated cases. (Life can be complicated.) Should UTS#35 be documenting what ICU does, or should Unicode be saying what ICU should do when implementing a tailoring expressed in LDML? Richard.
