AFAIK Unicode doesn't mandate what the Spanish alphabet is.
I thought that the point of the feature was to provide searching with
support for character equivalence classes, which is very useful for the
case of Spanish (and other languages, I'm sure). But you are saying that
the feature is about how the characters are encoded by the computer and
not about how they are used by people. If that is true, it should be
disabled by default.
