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



[co-chair hat on] This one was a bit more complicated :-(.

I think we have consensus for the following version of point 2 of Section 2.2.3.

  2.  Script subtags consist of four letters and were defined according
      to [ISO15924] ("Information and documentation -- Codes for the
      representation of names of scripts"), 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. Only codes assigned by ISO
      15924 will be considered for registration.

This is mostly Addison's version, with the last sentence of the paragraph added back in, and with the title fixed as pointed out by Kent.

I hope this should address the concern of the commenter, and will be acceptable to everybody on the WG.

Regards,    Martin.

6). In Section 2.2.3:

    2.  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, denoting the script or writing system used in conjunction
        with this language.  Only codes assigned by ISO 15924 will be
        considered for registration.
The first sentence is hard to understand. It looks like it has misplaced
punctuation.

As a technical contributor:  Yes.

First: either
s/": alpha-4 script codes,/: alpha-4 script codes,"/
or, better still,
s/]--"Codes for the representation of the names of scripts": alpha-4 script codes//

Secondly,
s/bodies, denoting the/ bodies.  A script subtag denotes a/

Propose replacement text, with additional edits, would be:
