More specifically, as shown in the example, this is a keyword proposed for
addition to
http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/browser/trunk/common/bcp47/collation.xml
as a new type value for <key name="co" description="Collation type key"
alias="collation">

The committee felt that we should make the current Arabic tailoring
available for at least this release, and that none of the current keyword
values seem appropriate.
