Debbie, Addison describes his intent to rule the future. No objection to that, except he also wants to rule the net.(BCP 47) This not possible, the net is not to be narrowed but scaled. I have a question: Addison puts already too many information in his tag (too many, because they can have unexpected conflicts). Why do you want to add more? You do not have conflict in adding specialised metatags. What is actually the odd idea is an ABNF langtag when an XML or other open format could have solved all these problems much more simply? jfc _______________________________________________ Ltru mailing list Ltru@lists.ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru
