Capitalization doesn't mean anything in language tags and never has.Sure, I'm talking about a naive subtag to IDREF implementation for the registry based on some MUSTard in chapter 3.1:| Subtags whose 'Type' field is 'script' (in other words, | subtags defined by ISO 15924) MUST use titlecase.
"yi-latn" is not a subtag, it's a redundant tag: RFC 4645 section 2, point 7:
7. Tags in the [RFC3066] registry that were not deprecated,
consisted entirely of subtags already in this document, and
have the correct form and format for tags defined by [RFC4646]
were converted to records of type "redundant" in the ILSR.
For example, "zh-Hant" is now defined by [RFC4646] because
'zh' is an [ISO639-1] code element and 'Hant' is an [ISO15924]
code element, and both are defined as subtags in the ILSR.
I guess the question is whether "yi-latn" does or does not have the "correct format," taking its capitalization into account. I note that nobody objected to it during the rather long WG and IETF review periods.
We should fix it in the registry (via the reg process if possible, but certainly via 4645bis if not)Okay.
Whatever happened to "fidelity with the source standards at all costs"? The RFC 3066 tag registry is the source standard for redundant tags.
