True.

I was thinking (before Frank wrote to endorse it) that 'nihon' might be 
the best choice, with "ja-Latn" as the Prefix.  I know it means "Japan," 
but in this particular context its meaning should be clear.

I think there has to be a separate registration form for each request, 
so the form Frank submitted in 009311.html will need to be split up (as 
well as reflecting the new proposal for Nihon-Shiki), but we can help 
with that.

I'd like to tip a virtual hat to Frank for taking the time to understand 
and work within our process and answer everyone's questions.  We don't 
always get this lucky.
