That's a fine way to submit it.  Are you offering to maintain the page
as well?  If so, please let me know your preferred username (nnishi?)
and I'll hook you up with commit access to the repository.

The page looks good (to a guy who doesn't understand a lick of
Japanese).  One other thing we'll need is the correct HTML to put at the
bottom of all the *other* translations of index.en.html for linking to
the Japanese version.  You could provide those bits via email, or if you
wish, you can add them yourself to the respective HTML files once you
have commit access.

Excellent.

Sure -- no problem there.  So, title3 is just title1 with
right-alignment, yes?

Very cool.  Thanks, Teddy.
