The SIGMA group in Japan is certainly working on common mechanisms and
interfaces.  Here's an excerpt from minutes of the Dec 14 advisory meeting
of their X-Window Japanese Version Working Group:

    Narita(Fujitsu) and Mr.Inaba(TOSHIBA) reported that beta test version of 
    Japanese language environment, one of outputs of this group,
    which includes Kana-Kanji-conversion system on X window system and its 
    application interface was demonstrated by FUJITSU,TOSHIBA,OMRON,NEC
    at UNIX fair '88 ,the most famous exhibition of unix machines held 
    in December 7,8 in TOKYO.
