result might be registered with their name on it. Of course, anyone else,
including you, Michael, may submit and get registered a subtag that the
original requester disagrees with. You don’t have to register “just anything”
and you don’t have to approve Mark and Ihar’s request. But your alternative is
not to ignore their protests and press ahead. It is to reject their application.</span></span><span

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>AP> Huh? The request itself is not for a generic subtag. I
think you mean that the subtag’s form suggests that it is a generic subtag when
it is not. I note that each of these subtags was (awkwardly) constructed to
avoid the English word “academy” or “academic” (or “official” or any other
synonym), which would also be a generic-looking subtag with a hidden specific
meaning.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>AP> If you’re going to go down the year path at all costs, I
would tend to prefer that you get rid of the ugly and unhelpful ‘acad’ part
altogether. The subtag ‘1959’ is consistent with other similar subtags (1901,
1996, 1994). If you don’t know what the subtag means, you probably shouldn’t be
using it and I think that ‘acad’ doesn’t add anything outside the context of
this email thread.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>AP> What would be best would be a subtag that conveys the meaning
in some distinctly local way. Alas, it seems that the obvious candidate is a
pejorative term. Is there no other term than “academic” for this orthography?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
