+Fig.1 : Frame Work of Locale Service API Proposal
+.LP
+Generally speaking, the internationalized portion of Xlib (Locale
+Dependent X, LDX) consists of three objects;
+locale (LC) , input method (IM) and output method (OM).
+The LC provides a set of information that depends on user's language
+environment. The IM manages text inputing, and the OM manages text
+drawing. Both IM and OM highly depend on LC data.
+.LP
+In X11R5, there are two sample implementations, Ximp and Xsi, for
+Xlib internationalization. But in both implementations, IM and OM
+actually refer the private extension of LC. It breaks coexistence
+of these two sample implementations. For example, if a user creates
+a new OM for special purpose as a part of Ximp, it will not work with
+Xsi.
+.LP
+As a solution of this problem, we propose to define the standard
+APIs between these three objects, and define the structure that are
+common to these objects.

+This chapter describes functions related locale object binding for
+implementing the pluggable layer.
+.LP
+A locale loader is an entry point for locale object, which
+instantiates XLCd object and binds locale methods with specified
+locale name. The behavior of loader is implementation dependent.
+And, what kind of loaders are available is also implementation
+dependent.
+.LP
+The loader is called in
+.PN _XOpenLC,
+but caller of
+.PN _XOpenLC
+does not need to care about its inside. For example, if the loader is
+implemented with dynamic load functions, and the dynamic module is
+expected to be unloaded when the corresponding XLCd is freed,
+close methods of XLCdMethods should handle unloading.

+This chapter describes the locale method API, which is a set of
+accessible functions from both IM and OM parts.
+The locale method API provides the functionalities; obtaining locale
+dependent information, handling charset, converting text, etc.
+.LP
+As a result of using these APIs instead of accessing vender private
+extension of the locale object, we can keep locale, IM and OM
+independently each other.
