The way to do that is to use the registration procedure for language tags defined in RFC 1766.

Something I also want. The IANA language tag registry may become that comprehensive standard. No revision of 1766 is needed to achieve that. /Olle -- Olle Jarnefors, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm <ojarnef@admin.kth.se>
