How well do the current crop of XSLT processors
(I'm thinking of Saxon6, Saxon7, Xalan, and xsltproc)
support the lang attribute in xsl:sort?
Saxon 6.x uses the lang attribute to attempt to load a user-defined
sorting module, as described in [1]. There is no built-in support for
multiple languages, just hooks that allow you to do it yourself.

http://saxon.sourceforge.net/saxon6.5.2/extensibility.html#Implementing-
a-collating-sequence
The sample internationalization support library (i18n_support) available
from the ISOGEN Web site
(http://www.isogen.com/downloads/cool_tools/cool_tools.jsp) includes
samples of custom collators for Saxon 6.5. In this implementation, I
have a single factory method that creates Java Collators for a
particular locale (or using local collation rules). The Saxon collators
then delegate to this factory to get the appropriate collator.
Cheers,
Eliot
