Dear Peter,
this WG results from the lack of consensus during two Last Calls. The main 
objection during that Last Call is the refusal of the authors to consider 
that the Internet may include other needs than the XML, HTML and CLDR need.

1. The HTML needs have not been discussed. I do know any problem but I am 
not an HTML expert.
2. The CLDR needs have never been discussed, in spite of my questions.
3. The XML needs have been fully described as resulting from a lack of 
foreseeing (exansibility) and propositions have been made.

This does not addresses the other needs which up to now have been denied 
(DNS, LDAP, ONES, CRC, etc.)

Who is "us"? Your "us" is obviously the same as mine. Mine is, scalably, 
every Internet user, every internet protocol, every internet application. 
XML, HTML, CLDR are just some of these applications as are Java, LDAP, C, 
DNS, ONES, CRC, .NET, etc.

I am glad you eventually heard me, even if you did not understand. IANA 
languages tags cannot ne driven by the needs of XML, nor Java, nor CLDR, 
nor DNS, etc. they must all be consistent with the Internet architecture, 
to be cross consistent.
