FW: V4RB*NEW* Properties to control Locale, Encoding, Sorting

Well, Jon,

It seems I self still not understand its rules completely.

I think we will play with different settings,
And will see how it works.

You use secondary strength.

Tertiary considers base/diacritic/case differences but ignores lower-level
ones.
Secondary considers base/diacritic differences but ignores case and other
lower-lever ones.
Primary considers base but ignores diacritics/case etc.

Please see http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/userguide/Collate_Intro.html
and related chapters.
