You are correct.... and it seems that LO handles these just fine. I am 
told that it will not handle all cases well (seems that there are a few 
cases in German that may not be correctly handed; for example, comparing 
characters with accents to characters without). I expect some 
clarification on this in the next week so that I can add more detail to 
a new section where I am attempting to add clarity so that others do not 
need to read the code and rely on trial and error to know what to 
expect. Oh, and perhaps file a bug report if the behavior is just wrong 
or inconsistent.
