ja_JP.eucJP is recommended by Japanese-Locale-Policy (released
by Linux Japanese Locale Working Group, on 15 Dec 1999).

  http://www.linux.or.jp/JF/JFdocs/Japanese-Locale-Policy.txt

Japanese developers must have complied with this policy.

BTW, LI18NUX Locale Name Guideline [Version 1.0 -- 2002-03-07]
was released:

  http://www.li18nux.org/localenameguide/index.html
  http://www.li18nux.org/docs/text/LocNameGuide-V10.txt
  http://www.li18nux.org/docs/text/LocNameGuide-QandA-V10.txt

It specifies ja_JP.EUC-JP as Standard Locale Name.
