http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=14709 --- Comment #11 from L. David Baron <dbaron@dbaron.org> 2011-11-07 18:48:36 UTC --- I think the issue is that this text (quoted in comment 0): If the resulting value is not a recognized language tag, then it must be treated as an unknown language having the given language tag, distinct from all other languages. For the purposes of round-tripping or communicating with other services that expect language tags, user agents should pass unknown language tags through unmodified. has a "must" statement and a "should" statement that contradict each other. If the user agent passes the unknown language tag through unmodified (following the "should" in the second sentence) to a system that uses a different language tag mechanism, then that's effectively not treating the language tag as unknown (violating the "must" in the first sentence) and implicitly allowing this alternative language tagging mechanism to be used in HTML in contexts where it will be passed through to, say, OpenType's different language tagging mechanism. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
