Are you sure you don't mean activestate.com as activestatem.com is not
found in lookups?

Why only 5 localizations? Is there not enought space to ship all packs?
They could rest as separate XPI-files which have to be installed
manually when needed.

It's a list of localisations that they definitely want - if other
localisations are ready when the CD ships, they could be on there.

Asa made some follow up comments on MozillaZine:

: I miscommunicated in the staff meeting. It's actually 6 language packs
: that we'll be directly pursuing: 1- German 2- French 3- Japanese 4-
: Chinese 5- Italian 6- Spanish. There are others that we'd certainly
: consider taking if they are well tested and completed by the time we're
: ready to ship the CD.
