Is it that the field > "contains language ranges that are strongly RECOMMENDED for use in > place of the record's value"? It's just not clear, but should be. We already modified this in the editor's copy. Currently it reads: <t>For fields of type 'extlang', 'grandfathered', or 'redundant', 'Preferred-Value' contains an extended language range that is preferred for forming the language tag. That is, each of the subtags that appears in the value MUST appear in the replacement tag; additional fields can be included in a language tag as described elsewhere in this document. For example, the replacement for the grandfathered tag "zh-min-nan" (Min Nan Chinese) is "nan", which can be used as the basis for tags such as "nan-Hant" or "nan-TW" (note that the extended language subtag form such as "zh-nan-Hant" or "zh-nan-TW" can also be used).</t> Addison _______________________________________________ Ltru mailing list Ltru at ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru
