Issue 622 in v8: localeCompare is not locale-dependent

New issue 622 by js...@chromium.org: localeCompare is not locale-dependent
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=622

Reported against Chrome ( http://crbug.com/19254)


<script type="text/javascript">
var a = new String( "honza" );
var b = new String("čenda");
// Should return positive integer
var ret = a.localeCompare(b);
</script>

In Czech locale, a should come after b, but it does not.

Related to this bug is bug 180. As I mentioned there, I wonder if there's a
way to take advantage of ICU when it's available (as in Chrome).

This behavior is deliberate. For more detailed arguments why we ignore
locale see
