Hi!<BR>
<BR>Gerard's request seems reasonable; and the options Doug has proposed sound like they would work fine as interim solutions--unless Gerard has an aversion to interim solutions!<BR>
<BR>Doug Ewell <A title="Lower Saxon as a group" href="mailto:ietf-languages%40alvestrand.no?Subject=Lower%20Saxon%20as%20a%20group&In-Reply-To=">doug at ewellic.org </A><BR>Tue Feb 24 14:34:39 CET 2009 <BR>> I see at least four possibilities:<BR><BR>> 1. There is no ISO 639-5 code element finer-grained <BR>
> than 'gmw' for "West <BR>> Germanic languages" to meet your needs. Use it, either > now or after the <BR>> Registry is revised to include it, with the understanding > that for your <BR>> purposes it covers only a subset of the West Germanic > languages.<BR><BR>I think that if this is an acceptable interim solution then Gerard might include the words "lower saxon" in the keywords too!<BR>
<BR>
Best wishes,<BR><BR>
