I agree with Lee. I've thought for quite some time that Jefsey's need to tag "referent" and "style" would be best met with private-use subtags. His example of "jefsey-2005" illustrates what he has said many times, that his "referent" subtag would go down to the level of "individual variations." Since nobody's ever going to register subtags for tens of thousands of individual speakers, let alone billions (no hyperbole here), it seems appropriate and reasonable to use the private-use mechanism for that. And until "style" is defined in somewhat more stable and concrete terms than what I have seen so far, that might be a good candidate for private-use subtags as well. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/ _______________________________________________ Ltru mailing list Ltru at lists.ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru
