It's something that can easily be dealt with by third party dictionary
software using JMDICT, so it's not something that should be high on
the priority list for WWWJDIC (if at all) if it isn't a simple

EDICT won't see much action on that front, but ENAMDICT will. I take
it ENAMDICT isn't ready for that kind of action yet?
