Really I think you ought to use the latest reference. RFC 4646 is published and can be referenced. Pointing to the older, obsolete, RFC may confuse people needlessly. Your current text says: -- Applying the Language Information data category to xml:lang attributes using global rules is not necessary, since xml:lang is already defined in terms of RFC3066 or its successor. -- It might be better to append a note to that sentence: -- Applying the Language Information data category to xml:lang attributes using global rules is not necessary, since xml:lang is already defined in terms of RFC3066 or its successor. (RFC4646 is the successor to RFC 3066.) -- Best Regards, Addison Yves Savourel wrote: > Hi Richard, > > The reference has been changed to 'RFC3066 or its successor' with a link to a reference to the "Language Identification" section of > the XML specification. > See http://www.w3.org/International/its/itstagset/itstagset.html#langinfo-definition > > Please let us know within 2 weeks if you are satisfied.

It is not a feature.
