RE: [Comment on ITS WD] xml:lang = language info, please

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. If we don't hear  from you , we will assume this issue as closed.

Cheers,
-yves

Personal comment:

"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 [RFC 4646]."

Strictly speaking xml is defined in terms of RFC 3066 or its successor.  It may be better to say "in terms of [BCP 47]" at this
location.  If not, you should add, or it's successor.  (Bear in mind that RFC 4646bis is just around the corner, relatively
speaking.)
