Thank you. This confirms what I thought. You pay your money you get a vote but individual members (such as me) get no say. Sorry but I cannot agree with this. It goes against the IETF ethos.

That still remains as it has been. This is a different area, part of an extension that is to provide a structured approach to the specification of transliteration. The development of extensions and their scope is covered by BCP47, and you can find the details there. The Unicode CLDR committee is already serves as the registrar for the -u- extension. The committee operates under the procedures in http://unicode.org/consortium/tc-procedures.html, but the vast majority of decisions are taken by consensus. The consortium is already the Registration Authority for ISO 15924 (Scripts).

Perhaps someone can explain how this will work and why it is required in addition to the current structure for the registration of language tags. Have I missed something here? (I probably have as I have been away from the list for some time) Have Unicode already taken over some of the duties of the BCP47 registrar?

One question. The primary reason that we chose to use a BCP was primarily because it provided a stable reference; the underlying RFCs can (and have) changed while "BCP47" has remained the same. Listing the current RFCs somewhat undercuts that. Note: if that is the practice we should do it, but it seems odd.

Section 2.2 says: The subtags in the 't' extension are of the following form: +--------+-------------------------+----------------------------+ | Label | ABNF | Comment | +--------+-------------------------+----------------------------+ | t_ext= | "t" | Extension | | | ("-" lang *("-" field) | Source + optional field(s) | | | / 1*("-" field)) | Field(s) only (no source) | | lang= | language | [BCP47 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-davis-t-langtag-ext-01#ref-BCP47> ], with restrictions | | | ["-" script] | | | | ["-" region] | | | | *("-" variant) | | | field= | sep 1*("-" 3*8alphanum) | With restrictions | | sep= | 1ALPHA 1DIGIT | Subtag separators | +--------+-------------------------+----------------------------+ I should note that, first of all, reference to RFC 5234 is missing; moreover, and this is more important, making the ABNF definition in the form of table makes such definition an invalid one, in terms of RFC 5234. Also, there are a number of ABNF nits here. So, please consider changing this to: The subtags in the 't' extension are of the following form, defined using ABNF [RFC5234] in <t-ext> rule: t-ext = "t" ("-" lang *("-" field) / 1*("-" field)) lang = langtag field = sep 1*("-" 3*8alphanum) sep = ALPHA DIGIT alphanum = ALPHA / DIGIT where <langta> rule is specified in BCP 47 [BCP47], <ALPHA> and <DIGIT> rules - in RFC 5234 [RFC5234]. Also, the minors comments on references. Reference to BCP 47 should include both references to RFC 5646 and RFC 4647, like: [BCP47] Phillips, A. and M. Davis, "Matching of Language Tags", BCP 47, RFC 4647, September 2006. Phillips, A., Ed., and M. Davis, Ed., "Tags for Identifying Languages", BCP 47, RFC 5646, September 2009. ...and, referencing UTS 35 you shouldn't reference specific parts of the document; this should be done in the text. Finally, I don't see where [US-ASCII] is used in the text.
