CE Whitehead scripsit: > Also I have questions about mis (miscellaneous) > (I agree with John's definition of miscellanous; that's the English > definition; but there is nothing in the registry to indicate > that mis refers to any collection of languages--it's just a > three-letter subtag--so I have to say that what I get for mis is > exactly what Mark gets, maybe some language content; It comes from ISO 639-2, and when English names from 639-2 contain "languages" or "(Other)", then they are collections. See the normative text at http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/normtext.html section 4.1.1. Even though the registry doesn't contain semantics, the subtags there inherit their semantics from the corresponding ISO codes. -- Normally I can handle panic attacks on my own; John Cowan <cowan@ccil.org> but panic is, at the moment, a way of life. http://www.ccil.org/~cowan
