Hi, I am not sure that the purpose of my email was to describe the correct use of suppress script but rather was to say that I felt zh-Latn was probably the best prefix as suppress-script (correct me if I am wrong) could not be used with a variant subtag to indicate the script. <BR><BR>
I still support zh-Latn as the prefix; I agree with Addison that multiple prefixes are possible, and I am not wholly against allowing multiple--it adds nothing to the distinction between the two Romanizations to say that the prefix is zh-Latn as the prefix for both is zh-Latn.<BR>
<BR>
Alas, however, I think Frank is right; these two variants were previously identified I suppose as zh-Latn (is that right? I do not tag Chinese . . . ), so zh-Latn is probably the obvious prefix--there are in fact some other Romanizations that I really know nothing about but on checking know exist (see <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legge_romanization">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legge_romanization</A>).<BR>

<BR>
Maybe my use of the words 'default script' was incorrect (I made the term up myself).<BR> <BR>--C. E. Whitehead<BR><A href="mailto:cewcathar@hotmail.com">cewcathar@hotmail.com</A> <BR><BR><BR><BR></body>
