I don't aks for dynamically choosing the collation. I am asking for the same as
in the first version of the comment, just with a different example, i.e. the
ancient greek example. I don't ask a standard Greek collation to take into
account all ancient Greek characters, but to allow the user to differentiate two
kinds of things: (1) I want a specific collation which I know the URI of and
which does a very specific thing for me, i.e. sorting in an ancient Greek style.
(2) I just want some collation of Greek. I don't care about the details, give me
anything which is available for Greek.
