Re: [i18n-activity] sorted list by code unit

I think it would be useful to add something to specdev describing the aims and limitations of the sort they are proposing. We'd need to create a succint do/don't sentence, then add a paragraph of explanation, which could include:

> This matches the Array.prototype.sort on an Array of Strings. This ordering compares the 16-bit code units in each string, producing a highly efficient, consistent, and deterministic sort order. The resulting list will not match any particular alphabet or lexicographical order, particularly for code points represented by a surrogate pair.

@aphillips are you up for that?
