.. and quite commonly, there are multiple languages per document.

The good news is that sorting is almost never relevant or done over 
general documents. You sort almost only well-behaved data, and quite often 
the exact order is less than important: and when it is, you have very 
specific rules (which probably seldom have anything what-so-ever to do 
with general unicode ;).


Well, Unicode already handles the "reading" part, just not the sorting.


I think Unicode in general (and UTF-8 in particular) is a great thing. I 
do not argue against Unicode at all.  It's what I use myself.

The thing I argue against is that they force normalization (and then, as a 
secondary complaint, their insane choice of target format).

Linux is generally UTF-8 too, and does all of this much better. No forced 
normalization, and it uses UTF-8 everywhere as the encoding model. Joliet 
and RR works beautifully.

(I don't think RR is NFD, btw. It's the standard microsoft UTF-16 without 
normalization, afaik. I think you can happily generate a Rock Ridge disk 
that has two _different_ filenames that OS X cannot tell apart, but that 
both Linux and Windows can see peoperly)
