Strange, it doesn't seem to contain collations for the French "Œ" ("e
dans l'o"), which sorts exactly as "oe". Does that mean that the CLDR
still have bugs too ?
Anyway. I don't think that it's the core's job to handle localisation
data and collations. There are too many of them, not counting the ones
you might invent for specific purposes (like, where to put Planck's
constant in a quantum physics book index?) Let us begin by trying to
get the Turkish capitalisation right. And even for this, I'm not sure
we want it really in the core.
