Since I'm not staying -current, I've gotten the new tools from ftp.FreeBSD.ORG
and tried to generating HTML version of handbook from our Japanese version.

Great! I don't have any problem! Japanese version of Handbook in HTML has
been successfully generated with no problem.
In practice, I have one problem but it is because our japanese version of
SGML files are based on 2.1.5R and sgmls doesn't know 'ero' in the new
scheme.
# In the old scheme, 'ero' is defined in
# /usr/share/sgml/FreeBSD/rep/*.general files

Although I've not checked the whole (japanese version of) generated
documents, I think it's no problem to manipulate japanese documents with
new tools.

Next TODO is to discard linuxdoc and to adopt docbook?
