Description jirka 2004-09-13 13:52:17 UTC 
According to XSLT spec:

"lang specifies the language of the sort keys; it has the same range of values 
as xml:lang [XML]; if no lang value is specified, the language should be 
determined from the system environment"

It would be very useful if libxslt can use collating provided by underlying OS 
or libc when lang attribute is specified on xsl:sort. This will allow ordinary 
users to use localized sorting in their stylesheets (without need for 
recompiling libxslt against ICU what is task far beyond capabilities of most 
users).

I think that's now fixed with the commit of Nick Wellnhofer in the
upstream SVN,
