Something I didn't think to mention: what exactly is "binary mode" for DOMStrings? I guess it means you encode as big-endian UTF-16, then sort bytewise? This is kind of evil, but it matches what sort() does, so I guess it should be the required behavior. (It's kind of evil because it doesn't match code-point order, unlike if you encoded as UTF-8. E.g., U+10000 is encoded as 0xd800dc00 and U+E000 is 0xe000, so U+E000 sorts after U+10000.) Perhaps this should be spelled out more clearly in the spec.
