------- Comment #1 from cmsmcq@w3.org  2007-12-14 19:38 -------
The XML Schema Working Group discussed this issue at its teleconference of
14 December 2007.  The current reference to RFC 3066 is non-normative: the
xsd:language datatype is intended to hold language codes as defined by RFC 3066
or its successor(s), but type validity is defined solely by a simple regular
expression, and a note points out that for the full checking of language codes,
additional work is required beyond checking for type validity.

We did not choose to change that basic pattern; in the words of the issue
description, we decided (implicitly) that no changes to the datatype are
required.  

We did agree to refer to BCP 47 instead of RFC 3066 as appropriate; the
editors were so instructed.  (I'm marking this 'decided' as well as
needsDrafting, as a reminder that the WG does not want to see the wording
before it's integrated into the status quo.)

Ashok, as originator of the issue, please indicate your acceptance of this
disposition by changing the status of the bug to RESOLVED.  If the WG
doesn't hear from you in a month, we'll assume you're happy.
