Comment from the i18n review of: http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-widgets-20090528/ Comment 5 At http://www.w3.org/International/reviews/0907-widgets-pc/ Editorial/substantive: S Tracked by: AP Location in reviewed document: Section 9.1, step 5 [http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-widgets-20090528/#step-5--derive-the-user-agents-locale] Comment: In Step 5 of section 9.1, we find an arbitrary limit on locale identifiers (BCP 47 language tags): Each item in the unprocessed locales must be a string shorter than eight characters, in lowercase form, that conforms to the production of a Language-Tag, as defined in the [BCP47] specification. This limit is too short for even some simple language tags. Consider "zh-Hant-CN", which is given as an example in the document: it has 10 characters. This limit really should be removed. The eight character limit is on subtags.
