I still say that it is not even a possible interpretation of RFC 3066 to remove the region code in these cases, no matter how the sgn-* tags were discussed at registration time. The "US" part in "sgn-US" is and remains a region code, and the appropriate target code (for Preferred-Value of the to-be-deprecated tag sgn-US) should be "asl-US". "asl-CA" (e.g.) is simply not covered with tags in the current LSR, along with 100+ other sign languages (plus regional variants of those sign languages) that will be taggable using 639-3 codes. /kent k _______________________________________________ Ltru mailing list Ltru at ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru
