 * 
 * Yes.  I want to allow this flexibility.  In my mind, a sysadmin is likely
 * to want to install the docs in to a canonical location, and then symlink
 * to this location from other, possibly friendlier, directory names.

Yes, in your mind.  That's now how it works for people who deal with
Japanese.

 * As an admin myself, I'd want the canonical location to be as precise as
 * possible, and have the symlinks be less precise.  Which is why I'd suggest
 * the canonical location be 'ja_JP.eucJP' (or whatever) and the symlinks be
 * 'ja'.  Other admins (e.g., you) might want this reversed, and have the
 * canonical directory be 'ja', and the symlinks be things like 'ja_JP.eucJP'.
 * 
 * I have no problem with this, and the arguments about which approach should
 * be the default (6 or 12 months down the line) are likely to more 
 * entertaining than "vi vs. Emacs" :-)

Well, as long as you let the Japanese people decide what the default's
going to be for Japanese stuff, I'm fine. :)
