we don't actually need step 1, so it comes down to replacing all occurences of data-lang with its-locale-filter-list, which is an ITS defined name. the downside is that it takes 2.5 times as long to type the attribute name for a content author, and since these attributes come in pairs, that's 5x the typing for each chunk of data labelled. Plus it makes the code marginally harder to read. In reality, ITS only defines data categories, and the actual names of attributes in the implementation doesn't have to use the same names (so eg. in HTML we use the translate attribute rather than the its-translate attribute). That's less of a problem if we are copy-pasting. but i guess it makes sense to use the same attribute name as in the ITS standard. One advantage being that it is clearer to people why this attribute is not the same as using the lang attribute, another is that it shows that we are using ITS concepts. (Note also that its-locale-filter-list validates.) i guess we could try it, and if it's too long we could revert back to data-lang, or even data-locale. -- GitHub Notif of comment by r12a See https://github.com/w3c/clreq/issues/76#issuecomment-123260405
