Re: [Ltru] draft updated



I'm pretty undecided about which is best, but I don't "buy" the buffer argument.  RFC4646 already allows quite long language tags (once you consider x- and other possibilities).

I don't agree.

Notice that this would cause you to gain a subtag. This is the only time this happens (all other mappings cause you to either have the same number of subtags or lose some). Among other things, one might face buffer length issues (some programming languages don't like the buffer to increase in size).
