[newsml-2] japanese scripts (was: person/name given and family elements)

Fri Feb 10 20:05:02 CET 2006

Unfortunately, this page:
    http://www.iana.org/numbers.html#L
says:
    "No further registrations in this registry."
in relation to the RFC 3066 language tags registry.

I suppose that if the IETF takes much longer to move RFC 3066 bis to RFC status, we may have to lobby for the RFC 3066 registry to be re-opened.  We're now stuck between one system which has closed and another which has not yet opened.

It's worth noting that the XML 1.0 specification does explicitly allow for values in a form defined by RFC 3066's successor to be used in xml:lang attributes: http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#sec-lang-tag

The danger of course is that existing consumers may not fully understand the new syntax.  Since there are really no NewsML 2 consumers yet, that's probably not an issue for us. 

If RFC 3066 bis is too far in the future, we might look at registering jp-Hani & friends, the same way zh-Hans & zh-Hant were done.

cheers,

Rob

	Yes.  I imagine that the new RFC will be approved before NewsML 2 is finalised.

	Therefore your proposal is to explicitly and provisionally allow for xml:lang="jp-Hani", isn't it?

	It would be a bad idea to introduce a "script" attribute now, just before draft-ietf-ltru-registry [1] becomes an RFC, replacing RFC 3066.

	Takahiro, 

	The xml:lang attribute can take values indicating a script: it is the case for zh-Hans and zh-Hant (Traditional vs. Simplified Chinese), isn't it?

	I see that it is not currently used for Japanese scripts (kanji, katagana, hiragana).

	I spotted:

	http://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/ 

	" There is a need, sometimes, to distinguish the script used, in addition to the language. For example, Mongolian might be written in Mongolian script or Cyrillic; Croatian might be written in Latin or Cyrillic; ..."

	Then http://www.inter-locale.com/ID/draft-ietf-ltru-registry-13.html#script 

	"Script subtags are used to indicate the script or writing system variations that distinguish the written forms of a language or its dialects. The following rules apply to the script subtags: "

	Then http://www.unicode.org/iso15924/iso15924-codes.html 

	And found the tokens found in HR-ML samples 

	- Hani (for Kanji)

	- Kana (Katakana)

	- Hrkt (alias for Hiragana + Katakana)

	My question: Can't we already express script with xml:lang="jp-Hani" ?

	(I imagine that it would not be RFC3066 compliant any more).

	If not, should we then create a specific attribute, as a sibling of xml:lang, in all elements supporting strings, that will be deprecated when the replacement of RFC3066 is standardized? If so, why are we the only group looking at this problem?

	Laurent

	I would explain from the view of Japanese people.

	> With Japanese comes another factor: two scripts for one language.

	Yes! this is the thing what I want to say.

	   We always need two scripts in the application form such as resident registration, curriculum vitae(résumé), application form when the online shopping...

	   One is for the formal printable name.  The other one is for the pronunciation.  There is many ways to write a pronunciation such as Hiragana, Katakana, multiple-romanisations.  But there is needed only one pronunciation in one application form because we can convert to another.  This pronunciation is also used for the name list with order by pronunciation.  Japanese people do not use order by Alphabetical nor order by Kanji.
