Re: [Ltru] Fw: [IANA #235907] Last Call: draft-ietf-ltru-4646bis (Tags for Identifying Languages) to BCP



Well, we're not done yet. Write a rule in 4645bis to cover these so that there is no silly work to do by the LSR. It should be pretty straight forward:

---
Registrations completed under RFC 4646 after this document was frozen but before the registry was updated MUST be incorporated by IANA in the order in which they were received (as determined by their File-Date record) into the new registry as part of the update process. Registrations after date yyyy-mm-dd are the ones to be scrutinized by IANA.

Internationalization is not a feature.
It is an architecture.
