RE: [Ltru] Re: last call scheduled?



Suggestion:

Use your powers as editor to either keep text or expunge text. If you are fearful that someone will want one or another phrase back, enclose the removed text in an XML comment: <!-- comment -->

People who don't care don't comment. There is an infinite supply of integers for fixing "editing mistakes" and if you wait for someone else to dictate the text, you might wait a long time. I've personally found it useful to stick a very definite stake in the ground (in the form of text).

Personally I would:

1. Change: 

Such tags must have their record changed ...

To read:

--
Such tags will have their record...
--

// Avoiding normative language which isn't appropriate here.

2. Keep:

Note that previous approval of a tag under RFC 3066 is not a guarantee of approval of a variant subtag under this document. The existing RFC 3066 tag maintains its validity, but the original reason for its registration might have become obsolete. 

// Explanations are good to keep in both places.

3. Remove:

For example, the subtag 'boont' could be registered, resulting in the change of the grandfathered tag "en-boont" to type "redundant" in the registry.

// Superfluous.

4. Remove:

[ [ Registrations that are in process under the rules defined in RFC 3066 may be completed under the former rules, at the discretion of the RFC 3066 language tag reviewer. ] ]


// Also superfluous.

5. Modify:

--
New registrations completed under RFC 3066 were entered into the ILSR using the rules defined above.
--

To read:

--
Any additional registrations completed after adoption of [draft-registry] using the rules in RFC 3066 will be incorporated into this document using the rules defined above or will have appropriate records separately submitted by the Language Subtag Reviewer according to the rules in [draft-registry].
--

6. Remove:

[ [ Users of tags that are grandfathered should consider registering appropriate subtags in the Language Subtag Registry (but are not required to). ] ]
