Collating is not implemented in all UTF-8 locales. > How many of the locales don't have collation yet? A few? Many? All? I have to admit, that looking at my own setup, I do use: LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=POSIX which suggests this was a problem for me too (I don't remember for sure - it's been a while since I switched to UTF-8 and I don't recall now exactly why I needed this). I.e., is this an obstacle that only affects a few locales and therefore shouldn't be a show-stopper for everyone else, is it a problem with an easy work-around such as the above, or is this really a reason not to move ahead right now? -jr
