Hi,

I sent a message to `ietf-languages' asking if a laguage-tag should be
accepted as part of the `Accept-Language' and `Content-Language''
headers
in both, HTTP1.0 and HTTP1.1.

The answer I got is I should accept both, while I'm being pointed to RFC9110.

I asked then why is it RFC9110 still applies to HTTP1.1, as if that's
indeed the case, it's implied that HTTP1.1 is a living standard rather
than a freezed one, where modern-day changes would still apply (I
guess, so a long as these are backwards compatible. i.e: no change
introduced after modifies the core protocol itself), while being
derived to this list. Is this  the case? I ask this just out of
curiosity.

This raises the doubt, nonetheless, on whether language-tags should be
taken as valid in HTTP1.0 requests or not.

The original HTTP1.1 spec does specify these, so I guess those are
valid for such version of the protocol.

Thanks,
