The Unicode collation has not much to do with the ISO 14651 collation.
They try to be compatible but there is no such requirement.
Having said that I don't say the 14651 data we currently use is
correct. In fact, if you'd look at the to-do list you'd see updating
the tables as one of the items. But this is a major step and requires
a lot of work.
I really don't want to spend any time on the current tables. They
work fine so far and nobody ever guaranteed compliance with the
arbitrary decisions the Unicode people made.
