Agreed.  If the requirement is to do case folding independent of
locale, then it follows that you must pick one, and be wrong for the
others that use the same characters but apply different rules.  And
that's why I said "anglocentric" -- though the more accurate adjective
would be "eurocentric" given what you described.
