I've been digging around a bit; and I can't seem to find any registry, list, RFC, or other IETF or IANA mention of values for vCard's "CALSCALE" other than 'Gregorian'. RFC6350 mentions the possibility in section 5.8, and refers to RFC5545 section 3.7.1, which only says, "It is expected that other calendar scales will be defined in other specifications or by future versions of this memo." Creating a hodgepodge of RFCs for various calendar systems seems like a less-than-optimal way to go about things. If there currently is no IANA registry of calendar systems, the way there is of language subtags, it feels like there should be one. Assuming that my Google-fu is strong enough that I haven't simply missed finding an existing registry... who should I get in touch with to discuss the pros and cons of starting one, and if the former outweigh the latter, the best ways to go about it? Thank you for your time, -- DataPacRat "Then again, I could be wrong."
