<i18n dev> [9] RFR: 8048123: Replace calendars.properties with another mechanism to specify a new Japanese calendar era

[Naoto Sato]

Okutsu-san,

I have one question. It looks like if the user specifies the additional 
era syntactically incorrect, it throws a RuntimeException. Should it 
just be ignored, as the spec reads "If the given era is invalid, such as 
the since value before the beginning of the last predefined era, the 
given era will be ignored"?
