Dear Marion,
I can only comment on ISO 3166 and UN.

- for ISO 3166 you should escalate the problem in the proper way: ask the=
=20
IANA. They have been made a member of the ISO 3166 committee to that end=20
through ICANN (cf. IETF/ICANN/IANA MoU). The problem is that ICANN has no=
t=20
yet designated a person to represent it. This is a point I made among=20
ccTLDs as ccTLDs are the first concerned by the issue. We have a possible=
=20
excellent candidate which would get the support of the whole community fo=
r=20
her dedication to this kind of issues.

- for UN, this kind of matter has currently the whole attention of the WS=
IS=20
WGIG. If there is a policy decided by this WG, it would be advisable to=20
send a mail to its secretary, Mr. Kummer and ask that problem to be part =
of=20
the WGIG propositions which must rule the relations between ITU and UN an=
d=20
the Information Society we (IETF) are part of. You may also send a mail t=
o=20
Avri, she is part of the WGIG, or to the IETF Chair who might help.

PS. IRT dash and underscore, I agree with you. The problem is to make the=
=20
writing consistent with others. Dash is also minus. We may very well have=
=20
to operate list operations on charsets and tag content, now or in the=20
future. Dash is confusing. But my point is obvsiously not for the case at=
=20
hand where they just want to address a application related problem. It is=
=20
more to give general guidelines to the authors of protocol/applications=20
oriented RFC when dealing with langtags and charsets.
