[Ltru] deletion of Extended Language Subtags in draft-ietf-ltru-4646bis-10



Hello, 

I beg your pardon, but i have missed the discussion thread about 
deletion of  Extended Language Subtags, so i have only discovered it 
in "John Cowan throws in the towel on extlangs" and in 
draft-ietf-ltru-4646bis-10 in section 2.2.2
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ltru-4646bis-10#section-2.2.2
(and in the diff). 

Could you give me pointers for the previous discussion?



Here what i think about this. 

ISO 639-3 contain/include language subtags for idioms which are not 
languages, but dialects. Examples :
aln	Gheg Albanian
als	Tosk Albanian
zdj	Ngazidja Comorian
wlc	Mwali Comorian

With "Extended Language Subtags" format, i can build sq-aln and 
sq-als, and there is no more issue about those idioms being dialects 
or language. 

Of course, LTRU wg is an IETF working group and do not work on poll, 
so you are free to ignore my opinion.
