That's a nice reference and all, but irrelevant. Or are you claiming that sort somehow generates non-sorted data? The issue is that some symbols simply have no meaning for certain kinds of sort (that is, they have *no* relation such that A<B), which is different than saying that the sort isn't lexicographic. You're arguing for a difference in the interpretation of the symbols, not for a different kind of sort. (And that *can not* be done within sort except by sorting based on ASCII value (collate=C) and ignoring i18n, and eventually UTF, entirely.)
