Re: [Slim] Proposed 5.4 text

[Randall Gellens <[e-mail]>]

I agree.  I made a few minor editorial changes 
(e.g., moving some text to a new paragraph):

5.4.  Usage Notes

    A sign language tag with a video media stream is interpreted as an
    indication for sign language in the video stream.  A non-sign
    language tag with a text media stream is interpreted as an
    indication for written language in the text stream.  A non-sign
    language tag with an audio media stream is interpreted as an
    indication for spoken language in the audio stream.

    This document does not define any other use for language tags in
    video media (such as how to indicate visible captions in the video
    stream).

    In the IANA registry of language subtags per BCP 47 [RFC5646], a
    language subtag with a Type field "extlang" combined with a Prefix
    field value "sgn" indicates a sign language tag.  The absense of
    such "sgn" prefix indicates a non-sign language tag.

    This document does not define the use of sign language tags in text
    or audio media.

    This document does not define the use of language tags in media
    other than interactive streams of audio, video, and text (such as
    "message" or "application").  Such use could be supported by future
    work or by application agreement.
