Good question, it's a great idea. The only problem I can possibly
imagine is that users may be expecting these buttons be labeled A-Ö and
Ö-A (in the case of Swedish) from other similar, localized applications.
But maybe the benefit of not having to localize these icons is worth
that potential re-education.

I'd love to hear the Sun localization group's opionon on this whole
thread.
