LANGUAGE SUBTAG REGISTRATION FORM (R3): pinyin

[Peter Constable]

That "wadegile" and "pinyin" imply Latin script, hence "Latn" is redundant.

The issue he raises in this case is, IMO, far from compelling.

The issue? Peter, please be clear when you write. Which issue? "The issue" I raised is that "pinyin" and "wadegile" are by default Latin because there are no other possiblities of interpretation. Is that "the issue" to which you refer? Because I don't believe you have demonstrated that what I have said is incorrect. Nor have you demonstrated how your position (that "Latn" must be included) is "compelling".
