Arabic alphabetical lists (xslt 1.0)

Hi!

I've been trying to ask a question here a number of times but my
message keeps getting bounced, presumably because of the special
characters?

My question is about xslt-generated alphabetical lists with Arabic
characters, also posted here:
http://ask.metafilter.com/247029/Please-tell-me-about-Arabic-alphabetical-lists.
Could you please read the question in the link and reply here?

Sorry for the convoluted way of asking this question; I'm not going to
spend any more time trying to find out why this listbot hates my mail
so much, so this is my last attempt.
