I think this is sensible and we should just go ahead and do it: it's not substantive and the process allows us to fix broken links. Any objections if the Team does the suggested change? It should also be reflected in the CVS version... Liam -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Ian Jacobs <ij@w3.org> To: [...] Cc: [...] Subject: Request for in-place modification of XML 1.0 5E Date: Sun, 3 Feb 2013 11:11:38 -0600 Denis, Liam, Tim Bray, co-editor of Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Fifth Edition) [1] forwarded this message to me: === > While viewing the XML recommendation at http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/ I noticed the link to BCP 47 (http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#RFC1766) is broken, it gives a 550 Directory Not Found. > > Can this be fixed/changed to http://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47? === The broken URI is: ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/bcp/bcp47.txt I contacted the people who manage isi.edu to ask them to restore it or create a redirect. They replied that they could not [2]. Therefore, per [3] I am requested an in-place modification to XML 1.0 5E to update the link. It turns out we need to replace a single link with two: * Please link "RFC 4646: Tags for Identifying Languages" to http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4646 * And "RFC 4647: Matching of Language Tags" to: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4647 <p><strong>Note:</strong> On @@date@@ this specification was modified in place to replace broken links to RFC4646 and RFC4647.</p> Thank you, Ian P.S. RFC4646 has been obsoleted, but we should not update the reference in XML 1.0 5E.
