<p class=MsoNormal>I agree completely with Yury here. I am convinced that
1959acad is the most suitable and appropriate subtag. I urge you all to approve

You are showing somewhat insufficient acquantaince with the subject at hand.<br>
<br>
The sources cited by me all refer to the *same* specific literary norm, <br>
which was actually decreed on May 11, 1957 (!) as "changes and <br>
corrections" to the previous norm, was introduced into the official use <br>
on January 1, 1958 and into the schooling on September 1, 1958. However, <br>
the first rulebook was published in 1959, and so the norm is popularly <br>
and overwhelmingly associated with the year 1959. The academic editions <br>
of the grammar came out later, and both those and the vocabularies are <br>
re-published periodically in the new editions. The works on phonology <br>
also relate to the literary norm discussed here, which is signified both <br>
by the titles and by the introductions.<br>
<br>
Now, it is precisely the "1959 norm" (or "1959 grammar" or
"1959 <br>
orthography"), as defined in quoted references, which is the actually <br>
obliging, academic literary norm in the official use in Belarus in 2008 <br>
CE etc. etc. Only when (if) the changes decreed in 2008 become <br>
officially part of the literary norm, then there will be possibly the <br>
need of the 2010acad tag, and of referring to the "2010 norm" etc.<br>
<br>
I wonder how this is so confusing. All these troubles with the <br>
supposedly "unacceptional" nature of the 1959 part of the tag seem to
be <br>
somewhat imaginary. As seen by me, of course.<br>
<br>
