I wasn't referring to the Japanese part of it, but whatever. :)

That's not what Konno-san meant.  The "confusion" was about which one
to use, not what each directory means.  There is no need to have more
than one Japanese directory.  If both "ja.eucJP" and "ja.JIS" exists,
Japanese people will still be confused. :)
