I agree for the most part with Mark's suggested text, which maintains the spirit of brevity of Alexey's original text, but is not so exceedingly terse that it raises more questions than it answers. I also agree with Kent's concern about introducing "backup languages" as a new term. We in the WG understand what this means, but many readers will expect a formal explanation. "Fallback" won't quite work either, since RFC 4647 uses this term to refer specifically to the tag you end up with when you start truncating subtags from the right. I wonder if it would be possible, in this brief paragraph, to talk about the concept of the language(s) in which a user prefers to receive content, without having to introduce a new term for it. -- Doug Ewell * Thornton, Colorado, USA * RFC 4645 * UTN #14 http://www.ewellic.org http://www1.ietf.org/html.charters/ltru-charter.html http://www.alvestrand.no/mailman/listinfo/ietf-languages ˆ
