Re: [web-annotation] exactly 0 or 1 language(s)

Well ... if the solution is to add some reduncancy becasue some 
people/scenarios needed, I have not problem with that given that these
 fields are not mandatory. 
However, I have the feeling, or more than that, I'm convinced that the
 solution is incomplete. 
The clients still need "to guess" some properties in order to be able 
to correclty process the text with NLP or TTS.

As I indicated above, that "script code" part of RFC 5646 is the key 
information needed by these algorithms.  While this bit of information
 is still valid to be added in the "language" property (at least 
accordign to the current specifications), this is not the recommended 
way to do it. 

Was this aspect discussed? By following the other things that got own 
fields, like "text direction", I would claim that the "script code" 
should be also explicitly represented in the annotations. 

If there was no decision/recommendation taken in this direction, I 
would be glad to create a new ticket.

BR,
Sergiu
