We should realize that no matter how well documents are written, they
will never be read if they're written only in Japanese...

How should it be separated, do you think? It seems not realistic to me
that kernel (wscons) supports all the i18n functions like Citrus has.

I personally think if wscons provides bitmap display support, user
programs (e.g. kon) can do the all jobs, that is CJK input/output.
