The problem is that you need this locale dependant information in xsl:key. Unfortunately expressions which can be used in xsl:key are quite limited -- they can't use variables so it's impossible to pull xsl:key with some data conditionally. This limitation will be probably eliminated in XSLT 2.0, but until 2.0 will be widely adopted there probably won't be easy to use solution to this indexing problem. Editing autoidx.xsl or some entity fiddling is only solution which I can imagine for now.
