Description Christian Gruen 2014-10-27 12:22:22 UTC 
I wonder if we should not remove the "hiraganaQuaternary" UCA collation option, as it seemed to be an implementation-specific hack (and has in the meanwhile been marked as deprecated) in the ICU standard implementation:

  http://sourceforge.net/p/icu/mailman/message/29475625/
  http://icu-project.org/apiref/icu4j/com/ibm/icu/text/RuleBasedCollator.html#setHiraganaQuaternary(boolean)
Comment 1 Michael Kay 2014-10-27 12:44:03 UTC 
Indeed, in the 2014-09-17 edition of TR35 (LDML), hiraganaQuaternary has become deprecated so we should drop it.

I was reluctant to do this based solely on the ICU implementation, but as it's now deprecated at the Unicode level, it should definitely go.
Comment 2 Liam R E Quin 2014-10-28 18:14:11 UTC 
At the F2F the meeting agreed; the document change log should note that the collation was dropped in response to a Last Call comment.

Thanks!
