I will try to gather some information about Japanese, Chinese and
Korean support for Polyglossia in the next days.
<br>
<br>
Because I do not understand tex programming at all, I can only
give some information here. I will try to write it as detailled as
possible, so that the implementation should not be that hard :)

Thanks Gerrit, I will keep good note of your useful information (and
the remaining discussion).<br>
<br>
I have never intended to include CJK in polyglossia actually, for
various reasons, the main one being my total ignorance of those
languages. But if anyone is willing to write modules for Chinese,
Japanese or Korean, he/she is welcome to either send it to me for
inclusion in the polyglossia distribution, or, perhaps better, to
directly upload it to CTAN for separate maintainance. <br>

You can also have a look at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://kuniyoshi.fastmail.fm/xetex/">http://kuniyoshi.fastmail.fm/xetex/</a>
for a discussion relating to
Japanese and an alternative package "genzi.sty".<br>
<br>
Note also that TeXLive 2010, which will come out very soon, will
include pTeX, a TeX engine extended and tailored specifically for
typesetting Japanese.<br>
