[Ltru] Written Spoken Signed

["Debbie Garside" <debbie at ictmarketing.co.uk>]

Hi All

An issue has been raised on the IETF with regard to the principle of
language tags for written, spoken (and signed) to be registered distinctly
as opposed to an "umbrella" tag that was perhaps designed initially for
written but is now being used to cover all.

As the draft for ISO 639-6 currently supports separate tags for these -
language, written_language, spoken_language, signed_language - perhaps it
would be prudent to incorporate some text and a mechanism within 3066bis to
support the registering of such specific tags. 

Personally, I believe that in the future there will be a real need for
differentiating between them; it can only enhance archival and retrieval
processes.

Kind regards
