Actually, I didn't include it because it hasn't been discussed at the
release-wranglers as something for the next release.  I don't know if
it's something we want to start talking about for the release planned
for sometime this summer, or something that would be best in a later
release.

Because I see your name on most of the commits to the Xorg tree for it.

I believe at least DocBook -> HTML is already present for the existing
docs.

We might - I don't usually install or look at the Japanese documentation
since I can't actually read it, and internally all the localized bits are
managed by the localization teams in their own trees, so they are in our
source trees.  I haven't seen anything like that in the Xorg tree either.
