I think we're mostly agreed on the need to be able to do this. The question that we need to resolve is which of three choices to make: (1) include the macrolanguage information in the registry and reflect it in the encoding of the language tag for the newly-added languages which are encompassed by a macrolanguage (2) do not include the macrolanguage information in the encoding of the language tag, but do include it in the registry so intelligent matching algorithms can act as though the information had been supplied (3) do not include the macrolanguage information in the tag encoding, and do not include it in the registry. There are other possibilities, but these seem to be the most defensible. Which of these makes the most sense seems to depend on the use case one has in mind. Overstating merely to drive home the point: The discussion of Dinka seems to favor (1). Discussion of Norwegian leads one to favor (2). Discussion of Breton leads one to (3). As co-chair... At this moment, the discussion seems to favor (1), but it's clear that we need to work through what we'd want do to the matching specification before we could declare consensus on this. If we find that an update to the matching specification is necessary, we'll need to ask our AD to get the IESG to add it to our charter.
