Many Internet application protocols include string-based lookup,searching, or sorting operations. However, the problem space forsearching and sorting international strings is large, not fullyexplored, and is outside the area of expertise for the InternetEngineering Task Force (IETF). Rather than attempt to solve such alarge problem, this specification creates an abstraction framework sothat application protocols can precisely identify a comparisonfunction, and the repertoire of comparison functions can be extendedin the future.
