On the other hand, many katakana names appear in Jim Breen that don't appear in SpaceALC, so when in doubt I check both.

You make a very strong point. I think the fact that Jim Breen actively involves himself in the development of WWWJDIC at a grassroots level is the reason there is such an abundance of katakana names and such. He's a good guy. Hangs out on USENET at sci.lang.japan. Pretty smart.
