Hello Richard, I think the update was a good thing, but it went a bit too far. It seems to give the impression that everything changed, while almost nothing changed. The language subtags are still exactly the same as before. The rule "if there is a two-letter code and a three-letter code, always use the two-letter code" is still very valid, and will continue to be valid. The IANA registry is just an additional way to find your language (sub)tag. At the least, I would add the following fact to the current document: This is basically not a change of language (sub)tags, but just a change in how they are made available (one stop shopping at IANA instead of having to check different lists). Regards, Martin.
