I won't object to this proposed solution. It is certainly not as bad as some of the alternatives that were mentioned, such as an "Encompasses:" field with 30 or 40 comma-separated language subtags. We have to decide on something and move along. It still floors me that we expect any parsers at all to be able to match "yue" with "zh" but not to be able to pick "en-US" out of "en-Latn-US". And of course all of the grandfathered tags of the form "zh-yue" will now have to be deprecated in favor of "yue", instead of being made redundant. -- Doug Ewell * Fullerton, California, USA * RFC 4645 * UTN #14 http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/ http://www1.ietf.org/html.charters/ltru-charter.html http://www.alvestrand.no/mailman/listinfo/ietf-languages _______________________________________________ Ltru mailing list Ltru@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru
