1. Sun implements GB18030.2000.
2. Mozilla implements GB18030.2000 for compatibility with Sun.
   Because Mozilla is cross-platform, the support finds itself on Linux.
3. XFree86 should implement GB18030.2000 for compatibility with
   Mozilla.

Interesting process.

P.S. Not that I care either way.
