I think this wording makes sense but I think you can omit the "syntactically and semantically", I think "valid BCP47 language tag" is clear enough. For implementations the key distinction is whether validation means that unknown values are nulled out or passed through to API's that use language tags of one format or another. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
