Re: [Ltru] Updated draft-4646bis...

[Addison Phillips <[e-mail]>]

The text in the editor's copy, btw is:

--
The 'mis' (Uncoded) primary language subtag is used to identify 
linguistic content whose language is known but for which no subtag has 
been defined. It is intended for use languages not otherwise categorized 
or in cases in which the range of subtags is constrained. It SHOULD NOT 
be used except when other means of identifying the language are not 
available. For example, a library application might limit the list of 
subtags to those associated with the codes defined by the [MARC21] 
standard. The 'mis' subtag might be used by this application for 
languages not included in that set.

I note that your text is what I said I would put into the I-D, in this 
message:

   http://article.gmane.org/gmane.ietf.ltru/8019

Must have missed it in cleanup.

Internationalization is an architecture.
It is not a feature.
