I thought about deprecating them, but if they are to be deprecated, it is in a sense quite different from the deprecation of 'CS' or 'he'. It's not that they are obsolete or nonsensical, but that they are vague. However, sometimes vagueness can't be avoided. The 639-2 codes came out of library practice, and sometimes the only thing you know about a document is that it's in some North American Indian language or other -- your records aren't complete. On the whole, then, I would rather label them as collections directly, and then say that using collection subtags is discouraged unless no better information is available. As for "(Other)", I hope to see its demise; it only makes sense on the assumption that 639-2 is a closed collection, which it has not been up to now. -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org http://ccil.org/~cowan Rather than making ill-conceived suggestions for improvement based on uninformed guesses about established conventions in a field of study with which familiarity is limited, it is sometimes better to stick to merely observing the usage and listening to the explanations offered, inserting only questions as needed to fill in gaps in understanding. --Peter Constable _______________________________________________ Ltru mailing list Ltru@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru
