Maybe you should check your attributions, but I have never advocated
that the code values can be used to do lexical sorting in the general
case -- far from it.  Your above paragraph contains a contradiction
as I read it.

Tell me how I sort on stroke count in Unicode without ``locale-specific
algorithms or hard-coded data''?

Re: `san'

    It can be used on either the family name of the first name.
    This assertion is based on current common practice in Japan.

    If you knew Ohta-san reasonably well (ie. friend or colleague)
    and were contemporaries you could use `kun' instead of `san'.
