No, my suggestion is that we reject the attempt to register
windows-932, windows-949 and windows-950. According to Shawn,
Microsoft wouldn't support those names even if they were registered.
(So we shouldn't register csWindows-932 either.)

It would be nice if Shawn and Mike Ksar could discuss this, reach some
sort of agreement, and then report back to this mailing list.
