Dear Frank,
I understand that the X(HT)ML applications have debate enough on the matter 
to permit this WG to feel free about them, as long as it fullfils its 
Charter assigned role to permit a consistent solution.

If we can make the proposed language tag registry useful outside of the 
Internet standard process, all the best. But this is the IETF and we are 
concerned by protocols, procedures and best common practices.

I do not think we are boud to a least harmful exit. Experiences in that 
area like IPv6, IDNA, etc. did not result into something really appealing. 
I think we can certainly find a good, stable and innovative for all solution.

May be could you comment that more in detail? In the way you understand it. 
Thank you.

I do not think my idea is to abuse DNS. I documented our need. I documented 
our solution. I did not document yet our information dissemination 
strategy. I need to understand first what Addison has to explain. I suppose 
we also need more involvement in this WG. As Addison explained it well, if 
you do not involve/hurt the people who may oppose you, you will upset them 
and you will never get their support.
