Re: [Ietf-languages] Forms for subtag kmpre20c

“Predates the 20th century” should not have a hyphen.

It is a little vague. No. It’s far too vague. Is this 1901-01-01? The first reform of the 20th century? The fourth? How many have there been?

It should predate some particular reference, of some kind. But not “the 20th century”. 

I was travelling. What’s the need for this? Did 20th-century reforms (there the hyphen is needed) all change uniformly or with some particular feature or features that make this division line make sense?

This does not correspond to a specific spelling style corresponding to a specific historical period or geographical area. It is instead intended to be used to contrast with spelling following one of the spelling reforms of the XXth c.
