I agree that the only workable answer is that string equality does not depend on languages. Two strings are equal if and only if they are equal character by character.

Cross-language comparison should work at least when the two languages are dialects, e.g. en-us vs en-uk." I think the only workable answer is that string equality does NOT depend on languages, therefore two strings are equal if they are equal character-by-character. We MAY want to think about saying something about Unicode normalization in this context (for instance allowing server to treat different Unicode normalization forms as equal). Feedback appreciated.
