Yes. Why can't it be IntlCollator in both 5.x and 6.x? In other words
(unless I'm missing something) compatibility between 5.x and 6.x doesn't
affect the naming choice.

I'm advocating uniformity for the sake of usability :-). (for reasons
already given). (I'm a freelance programmer, working on real-world
i18n-related code, not an ivory tower academic.)
