Re: [Ltru] Issue 53: Section 2.2.3 (2) is murky (Apps #6)

[Marion Gunn <mgunn at egt.ie>]

That is simply a question a question of fixing bad and/or unclear English. The straight way to fix this is to refer in the first instance to the Standard by its ISO number AND title (without the clumsy use of parenthesis) and in the second instance (a line or two further down) by its number only (the reference being to its RA). BTW, I'd expect Registration Authority to be in title case, but that is less important than fixing bad English style.

Hope this helps,
mg

I would suggest, in place of Randy's proposal, the following replacement
text:

--
       Script subtags consist of four letters and were defined according
       to [ISO15924] ("Codes for the representation of the names of
       scripts: alpha-4 script codes"), or subsequently assigned by the
       ISO 15924 registration authority or governing standardization
       bodies. Script subtags denote the script or writing system used in
conjunction
       with this language.

As a technical contributor...

(1) I don't find the parenthetic material helpful.
    

If the title is kept here (in parentheses), the title should be the
actual title of that standard:

Information and documentation -- Codes for the representation of names of
scripts

See 
http://www.iso.org/iso/search.htm?qt=15924&searchSubmit=Search&sort=rel&type
=simple&published=on.

The references section has it right.
