Re: "Saying that something is not in a locale" with BCP 47

Hi Addison,

thanks for the feedback - we had something like this in a previous ITS2 
draft, see the localeFilterType attribute at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-its20-20120731/#EX-locale-filter-selector-1
the only difference to what you propose is that localeFilterType is a 
separate attribute in addition to a main "list" attribute, whereas you 
have two attributes.

Best,

Felix

I don't think adding such a subtag would be a good idea either (where would you put it where it wouldn't be disturbed by a fallback mechanism? What happens if your value is a language priority list?).
