This comment would apply equally to XML, which also references RFC 3066. The latest description in the Internationalisation activity also represents 3066 are correct: http://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/ Copying public-i18n-core for expert comment. I assume you refer to draft-phillips-langtags I see mail from John Klensin saying this draft is 'stuck' and making a particularly worrying statement: But, if, in the process, it succeeds in identifying 3066 as Obsolete without replacing it with anything that is usable and compatible, that could cause a serious reduction in interoperability in the areas where 3066, today, is good enough or just about good enough Where is draft-phillips-langtags now, in the process? Is it in the RFC editor queue? If so, what status will it come out as? I see that it version -08 entered Last Call as a BCP http://xml.coverpages.org/LangTag200412.html (useful article to read, by the way) Latest version I could find was -10 http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-phillips-langtags-10.txt -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead
