one final comment: the Unicode algorithm is intended to define default
behavior only:

"This specification defines *default* mechanisms; more sophisticated
implementations can *and should* tailor them for particular locales or
environments."

it specifically states that implementations *should* provide
language/locale sensitive behavior;

in actual text processing usage, one needs the language/locale sensitive
behavior in most cases, not a default behavior
