We have successfully upgraded a Drupal-5 website to Drupal-6. Just follow the UPGRADE.txt file that comes with the package, with one minor point as below:

We were trying to insert serialized array data into a table, using the module.install update. We then noticed that we couldn't unserialize the data afterwards. After a little looking around, we realized that we cannot use the function "update_sql()" to insert the serialized data.

If you are still using Drupal-Localizer-5.x-1.x, please consider upgrading to Drupal-Localizer-5.x-3.x. The localizer module will not be upgraded to Drupal-6. Upgrading your Drupal-Localizer-5.x-1.x to Drupal-Localizer-5.x-3.x will make you site compatible for upgrading to Drupal-6.

Any new styles I added to fckstyles.xml will be added to the "Style" dropdown menu, even if they are block level styles.

Say, I want to add an indented paragraph with borders, I add this to the fckstyles.xml:
