<p class=MsoNormal>'Kore' is a new subtag. 'Hang' has existed for awhile. And I
suspect but<br>
cannot prove that many Koreans will think of their language as being<br>
written in the Hangul script, whether it is purely Hangul or not. <br>
<br>
If we suppress the wrong script, users might think that they have to<br>
identify &quot;other&quot; scripts, like 'Hang', by default. I think we should
be<br>
very judicious about what we suppress, especially when there can be <br>
confusion. Besides, I'm not sure what adding 'Kore' achieves.<br>

&gt;&gt; Subject: Re: Suppress-Script for Korean?<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; Are there any objections to adding 'Kore' as a Suppress-Script for
the<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&gt; Korean language?<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Yes. RFC 4646 only permits a single script to be suppressed. 'Kore' and<br>
&gt;&gt; 'Hang' both seem appropriate for suppression. Since it doesn't seem to
<br>
&gt;&gt; be a big problem and plenty of languages don't suppress their scripts,
I<br>
&gt;&gt; don't think we should add it at this time.<br>
&gt; ...<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I think &quot;Kore&quot; is the appropriate choice for suppression.&nbsp;&nbsp;In
the abstract, <br>
&gt; this might seem odd because the &quot;Hang&quot; is a proper subset of
&quot;Kore.&quot;<br>
&gt; However, if we think about the practical contexts of when something would<br>
&gt; be delibrately written only using &quot;Hang,&quot; (rather than merely
happening to <br>
&gt; have only &quot;Hang&quot; characters) I think the conclusion is that
&quot;Hang&quot;<br>
&gt; is indeed the &quot;marked&quot; case.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Since there already is a substantial body of tagged Korean text with no <br>
&gt; script subtag, and Korean texts of any substantial length are
overwhelmingly<br>
&gt; &quot;Kore&quot;, this seems to be exactly what Suppress-Script was
intended to cover.<br>
