I think the binding of URIs to actual collations is something that's best left
to configuration parameters, APIs, and the like - in other words, it's outside
the scope of the language.

One thing we might consider, though, is to encourage implementors to provide 
configuration mechanisms that allow users to choose their own URIs to refer to
collations, rather than only providing a fixed set of vendor-supplied URIs. If
implementors do this, it will greatly improve interoperability.
