Re the duplicate "Dimli", it would seem reasonable to me to employ the same mechanism that 639-3 uses: "Dimli (macrolanguage)". Peter -----Original Message----- From: Doug Ewell [mailto:dewell at adelphia.net] Sent: Tuesday, September 19, 2006 9:58 PM To: LTRU Working Group Subject: [Ltru] Errors in prototype 4646bis Registry There are two problems in the prototype RFC 4646bis Registry I posted a few days ago. The first problem is an extra trailing space-and-asterisk in 13 Description fields, for the language subtag records that have an extlang with the same name. The group agreed (I think) not to change any existing names, although that means we will have (for example) a language subtag called "Konkani" and "Konkani (macrolanguage)" and an extlang also called "Konkani". I marked these 13 cases with an asterisk so they could be easily removed (or retained) after the decision was made, and forgot to rip out the asterisks before posting. The second problem runs a bit deeper. ISO 639-2 just added a new code element "zza" with six names, one of which is "Dimli". ISO 639-3 has a code element "diq" with the name "Dimli". If both of these are admitted into the Registry, there will be two subtags of the *same type* with the same Description. No matter what anyone says about retaining the "official" ISO names, that is not a tolerable situation. Peter indicated on ietf-languages that the ISO 639 JAC would decide what to do about this in due course, but until they do, I need to know what to do with the Registry. I'll post an updated version when a decision is reached. -- Doug Ewell Fullerton, California, USA http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/ RFC 4645 * UTN #14 _______________________________________________ Ltru mailing list Ltru at ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru
