I just looked at the following:

<http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/CoreFoundation/BundleServices/Bundle_Services_Concepts/index.html>

and I quote:

"...Localized resources that need not be region specific should be placed in
folders named simply for the language, such as English.lproj or
Japanese.lproj.".

It's a little mixed up, because before this it seems to suggest what you
say:

"...Region specific resource folders should take their names from the ISO
3166 standard for country codes, and the ISO 639 standard for language
codes...."

but then goes on to be very specific about the name of the Japanese folder
being Japanese.lproj.

Am I missing something or is the documentation incorrect/misleading?
