As part of our work in defining the forthcoming v3 of the Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) specification, we in the UDDI Working Group have found the need to refer to the XMLSchema's language type and its pattern as defined in http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd and reproduced below: <xs:pattern value="([a-zA-Z]{2}|[iI]-[a-zA-Z]+|[xX]-[a-zA-Z]{1,8})(-[a-zA- Z]{1,8})*" id="language.pattern"> - <xs:annotation> <xs:documentation source="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#NT-LanguageID"> pattern specifies the content of section 2.12 of XML 1.0e2 and RFC 1766</ xs:documentation> </xs:annotation> </xs:pattern> We believe that the first alternative in the pattern value should be changed from 2 alpha-characters to 8 alpha-characters as RFC 1766 defines Language-Tag = Primary-tag *( "-" Subtag ) Primary-tag = 1*8ALPHA Subtag = 1*8ALPHA That is, the pattern's value should be changed to value="([a-zA-Z]{8}|[iI]-[a-zA-Z]+|[xX]-[a-zA-Z]{1,8})(-[a-zA-Z]{1,8})*" We would like to submit the above as an errata to the XMLSchema.xsd, especially since RFC 3066 (Jan 2001), which obsoletes RFC 1766, refers to 3-letter language codes. Please direct any feedback on this note to me on behalf of the UDDI WG. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Thank you, Yin Leng -- Yin-Leng Husband, Compaq Computer Corporation Team lead of Internationalization team, UDDI Working Group
