Dave Pawson scripsit: > So I guess the admonishment is 'check there first'? You need to check the Language Subtag Registry if you want to know what a tag *means*, or if it's valid. If you just care if it's well-formed, or how to take it apart, then you don't need the LSR. > And luckily they're fairly stable! Completely stable. No tag ever goes away completely, though some are deprecated, and we are not able to add any new irregular tags either. > Informative John. Thatnks. I'd like to add this to my page, but from > what you say it will be dated (by 4646bis) pretty soon. What timescales > please? Weeks or months? Go ahead and add. We have to wait at least until ISO puts forth the nexst part of ISO 639 (language subtags), and then there will be the usual slow IETF approval process. 4646 may be with us for two years or more. -- Barry gules and argent of seven and six, John Cowan on a canton azure fifty molets of the second. cowan@ccil.org --blazoning the U.S. flag http://www.ccil.org/~cowan
