RE: Localization of XML

Hi Tomas et al,

The DS Internic RFC repository died over a year ago (Internet politics).
The primary RFC repository site in North America is below.  Look at
"Tags for the Identification of Languages":

ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc1766.txt (March 1995)

(Also accessible via 'http:')

Please also see "IETF Policy on Chararcter Sets and Languages":

ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2277.txt (January 1998)

Cheers,

For more details what I mean by expand RFC-1766, have a look to
the *lapsed* Internet-Draft

 "Codes for language transformation"
  http://dragoman.org/winter/lanco.html

When eventually I come around to re-write is I will:

 - Not use two language codes in the tag; i.e.,
   "el-tran-en" is *bad* as there was confusion if the doc is in "el"
   (Greek) or "en" (English). The document is "el". But something
   to indicate the "method".

 - Use the term "conversion" and not "transformation".
  
Regards
Tomas
