I'm obviously not qualified to verify them independently, but I have
had some initial positive feedback from a few Japanese users of the
MM2.1 alphas. My second hand information indicates that he Japanese
codecs are pretty good, the Chinese are okay, and the Korean ones need
a lot of work.
Also, it's a bit of a catch 22, in that the more official exposure
these codecs get, the better they will eventually become, hopefully.
I'd be +1 on including them in Python 2.3.
