Hi guys,

Are any of you familiar with the proposed filesystem hierarchy standard
<URL:http://www.pathname.com/fhs/>. It looks like Linux-ism that's spun
off to try and apply to more than just Linux.

Have a look at <URL:http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.0/fhs-4.8.2.html> which
is a recommendation about how to name directories to include locale 
information.

Specifically, it recommends

   <language>[_<territory>][.<character-set>][,<version>] 

<language> is the two letter ISO638 code (en, ja, zh, etc). <territory>
is the ISO3166 country code, if you need to be more specific (leading
to en_GB, en_US, fr_FR (French, France) or fr_CA (French, Canada), 
<character-set> is a code for the character set (if necessary), ideally
an ISO standard number (if it exists) but an unambiguous code if not).

So Japanese might be ja.jis or ja.ujis depending on the character set.

This is fairly close to what we've already been talking about and tried
to solve. However, if there's already a 'standard' to follow I'd be in
favour of going for that, rather than trying to do things our own way.

It looks like this was already tried once, with the doc/ja_JP.EUC 
directory, which now stands empty. Why was this move done?
