 It can be fixed.  I have found two problems in the approach after
 my commit: 1) translation of country names and 2) sort order as you
 pointed out.  The former is solved using transtable template (see 
 doc/ja_JP.eucJP/share/sgml/transtable.{xml,xsl}), and I am working on
 the latter problem, implementing sorting entries based on the
 translated country name.  Stay tuned :)
