Hm. I don't read japanese :-/The JIS X 4051 spec is written in Japanese. I don't know whether there is English version spec, or not.
Certainly, many japanese people wish that FOP will implement it,
but the Japanese Tex hypenation file does not work with current FOP.
What's the reason for this? I got the impression both the Japanese and the Chinese TeX versions patched also the TeX source in order to adapt to their respective line breaking rules. I'm not sure how relevant this is to hyphenation.
I think that FOP should implements UAX#14(TR14) if possible. For example, AntennaHouse's XSLFormatter implements UAX#14.
This is planned for HEAD. The TR14 rules for CJK hyphenation seems to be easy: in absence of any more complicated requirements, hyphenate after every full character. Does the above mentioned standard add such "more complicated rules" which TR14 does not care too much about?
