Re: [Ltru] Issue 20: 3.1.7 consequence 2119 language (Was Preferred-Value for YU)

[Mark Davis <mark at macchiato.com>]

I propose the following (I think basically what Addison had in mind)

  Changes to one subtag MAY affect other subtags as well: when
   proposing changes to the registry, the Language Subtag Reviewer
   will review the registry for such effects and propose the necessary
   changes using the process in Section 3.5 (Registration Procedure
   for Subtags), although anyone MAY request such changes. For example:
=>
  Changes to one subtag can affect other subtags as well: when
 // MAY => can
   proposing changes to the registry, the Language Subtag Reviewer
   MUST review the registry for such effects and propose the necessary
// will => MUST
   changes using the process in Section 3.5 (Registration Procedure
   for Subtags), although anyone MAY request such changes. For example:

As co-chair...

There were two issues in that thread.

One was whether it made sense to change the content of
a particular registry entry.  I believe the consensus was
that that was more properly left to ietf-languages at iana.org
Consequently I see no need to enter that in the issue tracker
at this time.

The second was whether there was a need to change the use of 2119
keywords in this passage:
  Changes to one subtag MAY affect other subtags as well: when
  proposing changes to the registry, the Language Subtag Reviewer
  will review the registry for such effects and propose the necessary
  changes using the process in Section 3.5 (Registration Procedure
  for Subtags), although anyone MAY request such changes. For example:

  Suppose that subtag 'XX' has a Preferred-Value of 'YY'. If 'YY' later
  changes to have a Preferred-Value of 'ZZ', then the Preferred-Value
  for 'XX' MUST also change to be 'ZZ'.

I've created ticket #20 for this.  Re-scanning the thread didn't provide
me with obvious replacement text, (some have trouble with the MAY,
some have trouble with the MUST,  I think the text is tolerable as-is)
so someone who thinks there is a real problem here should supply
a specific proposal.
