You may want to check out comp.std.internat; a posting to a 386BSD group
is unlikely to get more than a small response from people with rather
radical views on the subject (such as myself 8-).
Be aware that your definitions 1 & 2 won't go over well on that group,
since there is a large lobby for "internationalization" being interpreted
as "multinationalization", and your definitions take it to mean "enabling
localization" instead.
You might want to gateway the group if the list isn't moderated.
