Hello!

   Currently dtml-in does not use locale when sorting the sequence. Before
creating a patch I want to discuss a way dtml-in should handle this. The
problem is that list.sort() does not sort according to koi8-r cyrillic
locale; to make sort locale-aware I need to list.sort(locale.strcoll).
   But how I could ask dtml-in to use locale.strcoll? Should I add another
option to dtml-in? Something like
   <dtml-in somesequence sort=name use_locale> ?
