Hi, all<BR><BR>I think listing 50 items is a wee bit excessive in terms of requirements for getting a subtag; the orthography does look strange at times, yes, but I still say if it's out there . . . .<BR> <BR>Best,<BR> <BR>C. E. Whitehead<BR><A href="mailto:cewcathar@hotmail.com">cewcathar@hotmail.com</A><BR>> <BR>

(But I do think scholarly languages, which will appear on the web, deserve subtags too--after all, it's nice to be able to search for a text in 17th century French or for a modern translation of it, etc. )<BR>
