I didn't say that.  I said that romaji version of usage.hlp uses only
ISO-8859-1 characters, so how about to call it ja_JP.ISO8859-1
version.  Sorry for confusing you.

The locale name xx_YY.ZZZZ means xx is language name, YY is country
code, and ZZZZ is encoding.

Talking about Japanese written in romaji, language is Japanese, used
in Japan (I don't know if there are other countries in which Japanese
is used though :-), and encoding is ISO-8859-1.
