Ooops. I wish I could completely disable "US-ASCII" in the mailer!
What I originally wrote and meant, before the mail program mangled it,
was in accordance whith what Stefan says here (resending in UTF-8):
-----------
Of course, e.g., ä, <a, small-e-above>, and æ should be ordered the same
at the primary level for the Nordic languages.
/kent k
PS (with regard to the related issue with Vietnamese)
Notice how the UCA (UTS 10) requires that <a, dot-below, ring-above>
be ordered at the primary level as an a (<a, ring-above>), when å is
tailored at the primary level (e.g. to be near the end of the alphabet),
but the dot is a secondary level difference. (Unfortunately, 14651 does
not make the same requirement...)
