To be used in practice, strcoll() should never fails, doing fallback to strcmp() instead, not only in that, but in lots of other cases too (it may set errno like EILSEQ, but not fails). The next important thing is to return 0 only for true binary equals, additionaly ranking (f.e. by strcmp()) anything inside classes of equality to stabilize result. I hope our strcoll() will be kept in that state after implementing UCA too. -- http://ache.pp.ru/
