+This document proposes to define the structures, methods and their
+signatures that are expected to be common to all locale dependent
+functions within the Xlib sample implementation. The following

+the components within the sample implementation.

+
+<para>
+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.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+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.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+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.

+A locale loader is an entry point for locale object, which

+locale name. The behavior of loader is implementation dependent.

+The loader is called in
