RE: wadegile and pinyin LANGUAGE SUBTAG REGISTRATION FORMs

["Broome, Karen" <[e-mail]>]

Or "zh-cmn-wadegile" etc. if registered under the current registry rather than what's planned for 4646bis. - K.

I thought the use of the generic "zh" tag instead of "cmn" to indicate variants that only apply to Mandarin was a substantive objection. I also think that you deserve some sort of resolution of this issue.

I have been waiting on two Language Subtag Registration Forms since Aug 2. I don't think there are an substantive objections, and we have the legitimate need to distinguish between the Hanyu Pinyin and the Wade-Giles romanizations of Chinese.

The message subjects are:

 1.  LANGUAGE SUBTAG REGISTRATION FORM (R2): wadegile
 2.  LANGUAGE SUBTAG REGISTRATION FORM (R2): pinyin

PS. According to BCP 47 procedures:

   When the two-week period has passed, the Language Subtag Reviewer












   either forwards the record to be inserted or modified to





   [e-mail]<mailto:[e-mail]> according to the procedure described in Section 3.3, or





   rejects the request because of significant objections raised on the












   list or due to problems with constraints in this document (which MUST





   be explicitly cited).  The Language Subtag Reviewer MAY also extend





   the review period in two-week increments to permit further





   discussion.  The Language Subtag Reviewer MUST indicate on the list












   whether the registration has been accepted, rejected, or extended





   following each two-week period.
