------- Comment #3 from mike@saxonica.com  2007-04-03 22:53 -------
Despite Jim Melton's administrative closure of this bug, the WG returned to it
on 15 March 2007, recognizing that it had not received proper attention. I took
at action (A-2007-03-15-004) to editorially improve the section, with the
general tenor being that the implementation should be free to present the
information as best it can.

Proposal: change the text:

If the fallback representation uses a different calendar from that requested,
the output string must be prefixed with [Calendar: X] where X  identifies the
calendar actually used. The string Calendar should be localized using the
requested language if available. If the fallback representation uses a
different language from that requested, the output string should be prefixed
with [Language: Y] where Y  identifies the language actually used. The string
Language may be localized in an implementation-dependent  way. 

to:

If the fallback representation uses a different calendar from that requested,
the output string MUST identify the calendar actually used, for example by
prefixing the string with [Calendar: X] localized as appropriate to the
requested language. If the fallback representation uses a different language
from that requested, the output string MUST identify the language actually
used, for example by prefixing the string with [Language: Y] localized in an
implementation-dependent way.
