so, i am much less convinced about this one. the rules for capitalisation in english are sometimes a bit fuzzy... oxford style guide, for example, begins: "usage is divided over adjectives based on nationality." very often in these cases we don;t uppercase - do you write about "roman numerals" or "Roman numerals"? in this specific case, the packages being discussed are not even japanese! they are simply packages categorised as being "japanese". considering also that we are talking about how that will lead to packages having a "ja-" stem, not "Ja-", i think uppercasing here would be unhelpful. jmc
