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?
Well, "Unicode" should not be "saying" what anybody should do here. UTS #35 is owned by the CLDR-TC, not the UTC or the Unicode Consortium as a whole. The discussion of the relationship between CLDR and ICU presumably belongs on the cldr-users list, rather than the unicode list, except insofar as an issue raised for tailoring of collation in LDML and/or in the ICU implementation reflects back on something which would need changing or clarifying in UTS #10. --Ken
