 * OK, so the Japanese folks have some sort of auto-conversion.  That
 * takes care of strictly the Japanese language, but what about the
 * Chinese folks or the others that Nik pointed out?  It seemed to me
 * that he was looking for a much wider convention here, not just a
 * solution to the ja problem.

As I said before, some languages are different from others and trying
to apply a single hammer on them all is not suitable.  If you are
optimizing for one language while pessimizing for another, what is the
point in the unified convention?

That said, *if* we need them all to look uniform, I propose we use
<lang><_territory> (as I said before).  None of the examples Nik
stated show why we need the <.codeset> part.  We've already shown why
including that information hurts the Japanese docs.
