Language Subtag Registration -- "wpsimple"

[Peter Constable]

Michael,

I think I agree with Felix on this. In both your examples, "en-fonipa" and "fr-fonipa", "fonipa" denotes one thing. In "en-wpsimple" and "fr-wpsimple", the "wpsimple" subtag would be denoting very different things.

I don’t think so. We have fonipa, for instance and en-fonipa and fr-fonipa are certainly valid.
