Hi Tom,

  Thank you for the advice, and my apologies for insufficient words.

  Basically, I quite agree with you on the approach, but the problem
of the current resource is that there're so many unused and temporal
keys.  Fortunately, the Japanization is the first feasibility study
for Axis in i18n task. I think that it's a good timing to clean-up
the existing resource keys, so that later translators can easy find
out the necessary keys to translate. Then, in fact, I've also asked
dims how we should take steps to do so. Sure, erasing of keys is not
so good at this time. My (/ Our) intention was below on the diff of
the last commit message;

#  THE FOLLOWING KEYS ARE NOT IN-USE ON THE CURRENT SOURCE. FOR THIS #

#  YOU EXPLICITLY HOPE TO USE ANY KEYS BELOW, YOU HAVE TO MOVE THE   #
#  KEYS INTO THE "In-use keys" BLOCK ABOVE.                          #
#                                                                    #
