As I mentioned, I'd welcome information on these sequences so I can include
them in Saxon. Meanwhile, however, you do have the option to define your own
numbering sequences, simply by providing a class
com.icl.saxon.number.Numberer_jp that contains the necessary logic, and then
invoking xsl:number with lang="jp".
