I don't see DUCET as being ever used but we are setting the old
algorithm as a fallback for CLDR.

I was just wondering how DUCET compares to the existing
algorithm. Given that DUCET is in the standard and that you
already implemented it, I thought it would be a better fallback
than the old code. It's your call though.
