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.
