But as I read the arguments, it has been a motivation for picking certain primary laguage subtags to get extlang subtags: the backwards compatibility argument for extlang support. And that really only applies to 'zh', very very weakly to 'sgn' (I'd say not at all, but...), and not at all to 'ar' or any other primary language subtags. /kent k _______________________________________________ Ltru mailing list Ltru at ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru
