According to an article posted in FreeBSD-tech-jp mailing list (*1),
the "L001 (ja_JP)" locale in above URL describes that codeset
names for ja_JP locales (e.g. "eucJP" for Japanese EUC, and
"SJIS" for Shift JIS).

Older version of this document is available in the following URLs:
	Japanese version:
		http://www.li18nux.org/~numa/uocjle-a4.pdf
	English version:
		http://www.li18nux.org/~numa/uocjleE.pdf
Please look at section 4.2 about the ja_JP codeset names.

>> OpenGroup, as I already said.

> Please point to the OpenGroup's registered codesets name list.

Because I don't have a copy of the above catalog, I cannot point
the codeset names for languages other than Japanese.

But if you check existing implementations, you can find that
almost all existing implementations return same names
with the primary codeset names of X Window System.
For example, nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns "ISO8859-1" for Latin 1,
and "eucJP" for Japanese EUC on both Solaris, IRIX, Tru64 and Linux.
And this is what Citrus locale returns.

I believe there is no reason that FreeBSD diverges from the existing
standard.
