<br>> tag it ja-Hira because Hira is considered a subset of Japn and Japn is to be suppressed?<br><br>For a document longer than a few words to be purely "Hira" would be *very* artifical,<br>and consequently I'd expect it to be marked as such, just as an extended document
<br>solely in Kanji or Katakana would also be quite artifical. On the other hand, let's say it's<br>just a quote of a word or two which would normally be written in pure "Hira". In that case,<br>it's not a "marked form", so I'd say that simply tagging it "ja" would normally be the
<br>appropriate thing to do.<br><br>I think the real consideration is this: does adding the script subtag provide<br>information that could not be reasonably inferred from "ja". "-Japn" would<br>not provide useful information. "-Hira" marks the text as being quite
<br>out of the ordinary.<br><br>Randy<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Ietf-languages mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Ietf-languages@alvestrand.no">Ietf-languages@alvestrand.no</a><br><a href="http://www.alvestrand.no/mailman/listinfo/ietf-languages">
