RE: [pls] About I18N comments

Here are some notes for discussion within the i18n WG, prior to responding
formally to Paolo.

Paolo, I'm just copying you on this for information at the moment.  We'll
respond by individual threads.

This was a bit complicated to put together.  I think I'm happy to let the
PLS folks do as they see fit after having received the comment.

I think we should try to get them to use a BCP 47 URI, rather than point to
RFC 4646 directly.  I'm still waiting on the IETF to clarify which of the
two URIs they recommended is the best one - if they don't respond in time,
maybe we should just choose one.

I think it is confusing to keep the dc:language in the example without any
explanation, so I'd like to suggest that they remove it.

Well, I think we made our request clearly and PLS want to do something
different.  At least it will not be impossible to provide bidi embedding
information.  I don't know whether we should push back again.

I think we can accept this now.  The new edits improve things a lot.

Well, the mechanism looks like what we were asking for, although I'm not
clear why the (last) example in section 5.5 declares xmlns:mypos in
<lexicon>, since these are attribute values.

I don't see any expansion to section 1.2.
