Thank you for the new text.
Sorry, I am not happy to put the information in ja_JP locale data.
Since it is necessary to describe similar information in other locale
data such as *_TW, and also it becomes rather troublesome to maintain,
it would be better to include the information in a documentation named
"The locale definition source file format", that is expected to be
created in Glibc.
This documentation looks something like this:
