Comment #24 on issue 459 by paulbenn...@gmail.com: localeCompare  
implementation differs from other browsers
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=459

"The Spec" (ECMA -  
http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/Ecma-262.pdf)  
states:

"The result is intended to order String values in the sort order specified  
by the system default
locale, and will be negative, zero, or positive, depending on whether S  
comes before That in the sort order, the
Strings are equal, or S comes after That in the sort order, respectively."

The result must be -1, 0 or 1, just as other browsers have implemented it.  
Please fix it. This should be a bug not a feature request.
