I recently CCd an email to this thread which I should not have sent, particularly in view of its being archived, and am writing to apologise for sending it, to express my regrets for any offense it may have caused, and to ask for it to be retracted. The message in question is dated Thu, 26 Jul 2001 13:14:16 -0700 and expressed an opinion concerning a paragraph in RFC1766. If it is possible to delete it from the archive, I would request that it be so deleted so as to avoid any further risk of offending anyone. However, I would stand by the suggestion made in the message that a careful reading of RFC1766 suggests that it is not an appropriate standard for RDF, since it seems to be predicated on an assumption that the lang: tag in XML is solely for use in marking up NL text for purposes of direct human use, rather than the more 'machine-oriented' uses which have arisen in XML applications and towards which RDF is oriented. I hope this point can be considered independently of the parts of the message which may have given offense.
