Hi - I've created a ticket to record our resolution of this issue. If you think it needs further discussion, *please* use the appropriate subject line, rather than the not-too-accurate "Editorial error in BNF". The ticket summary says: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Although ISO 639-6 will not be ready in time for this work to reference it formally, there were statements that it would be desirable to structure the ABNF so that the impact on implementations would be minimized, if ISO 639-6 develops as is currently anticipated. This question arose in several threads, and a summary of concerns is in http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ltru/current/msg01869.html The rough consensus was to allow for them in syntax, recognizing that there is a risk that 639-6 might take a different form. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Randy, ltru co-chair _______________________________________________ Ltru mailing list Ltru at lists.ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru
