From my read of them, as an app developer I'd be very unlikely to use
this. Maybe there is something with building out some collation rules
vis-a-vis an extension, but I have trouble imagining the use-case. I may
also not be the target audience for this feature.

I remember I had a exploratory use case for "phonebk" but I couldn't
figure out how to get it to work. AIUI from random searching, the idea
is that it provides the "phonebook" rules for ordering "names" in a
particular locale, but I couldn't get it to work.

Me neither, but I haven't stared at this as hard as others.
Thanks,
