The erratum regarding the ISO 639 code for Hebrew is wrong. > The HTML 4.0 spec is right. I'm glad this issue has arisen so quickly, so that it may be dealt with appropriately. I have removed Arnaud's addition from the errata sheet (see http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html40-updates/html40-errata.html) I added a new section entitled Frequently Asked Questions, where the Hebrew language code is mentioned (using information from your previous email, Misha). It already feels like there should be an HTML 4.0 FAQ alongside the errata sheet -- the editors will have to experiment a little with mechanisms to handle this new phase of HTML 4.0. Input from the (ex-)WG is very welcome. As for the process of verifying errors, I propose that w3c-html-wg@w3.org be used for discussion of non-editorial errors such as this one. The limitation of this mailing list, however, is that we cannot refer to messages in the archives from the public errata sheet. Perhaps this extra level of documentation is unnecessary, but it proved vital in maintaining the issues and todo lists.
