ISO 3166, on the other hand, defines both 2- and 3-letter >country codes. Is the spec correct here? By definition, yes... (-: ISO 639 defines both 2- and 3-letter language codes; see <URL: http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/IG/ert/iso639.htm >. I actually hadn't noticed that the Recommendation requires the 3-letter form; that's a bit of a bummer since XML itself allows the two-letter form, which means that a lot of my content has things like xml:lang="en-US" in it, which apparently can't just be copied into FO output. ~Chris - -- Christopher R.
