Hi, I'm having a problem with HTML5-Validator (validator.w3.org) I'm getting the following error when using lang="arz" (for egyptian arabic): "Bad value arz for attribute lang on element html: The language subtag arz is not a valid ISO language part of a language tag." The language-Code "arz" is defined in ISO 639-3 and it's prefered to use it according to RFC 5646 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5646#section-4.1.2). It's also used by Wikipedia Masry (http://arz.wikipedia.org). The test code I used: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="arz" > <head> <meta charset="UTF-8" /> <title>TEST</title> </head> <body> <p>Test</p> </body> </html> The problem is reproducible with the different validator's input methods (by URI, by File Upload, by Direct Input) and with other language codes like "yue" for cantonese chineese. Thanks, Mario
