If the Japanese, Chinese, or Korean names appear in a comma-separated
list or where a comma might not be desired, then in addition to the
option of simply putting the names in Western (given name + surname)
order, another convention is to capitalize the surname, thus
HANDA Ken'ichi, LEE Seokchan, TSUGUTOMO Enami.
Or, even, to capitalize the surname and put the name in Western order:
Ken'ichi HANDA, Seokchan LEE, Enami TSUGUTOMO.
I notice that this last method is the one used by "Ken'ichi HANDA"
himself in his messages to the mule list. I guess I'd vote for it.
