Philippe, Richard is correct with what the specific example of
    &[before 2]á << ạ

should yield according to

http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-collation.html#Collation_Tailorings

Your opinions are not based on the LDML collation tailoring spec, but you
make it sound like they are.

I suggest the two of you agree on which spec to discuss, or you clarify
that what you are doing is comparing the LDML spec with some other spec (I
don't know which one that is).
