When I say 'at a pinch', I mean: with quite a lot of trouble to set it up. It's not something I want to do - and I really do believe that a native Japanese speaker (not some westener who happens to have learned elementary Japanese and can read Hiragana, Katakana and a few hundred Kanji) needs to validate it. I'm not a fluent japanese speaker, and certainly not a fluent Japanese reader/writer. If there isn't a native japanese speaker in the user group, we shouldn't worry until there is. And I'm also busy with other things right now. Sorry. My mail to the list was meant more as a philosophical/political statement than a specific course of action.
