Hi, Doug, thanks very much for accepting my offer.<BR>
I'd be happy to help. Anyone has time to reply can answer my questions about the "Deprecated," "Preferred-value", "Comments," and "Any other relevant information" fields (below, followed by an example subtag).<BR>
<BR>
(If I hear nothing back I'll assume I've got it right and will just go on.)<BR>
<BR>First, the "Any other relevant information" field:<BR>
<BR>
For your first registration record, Doug wrote:<BR><BR>
"This registration tracks a change made to ISO 639-3 effective<BR> 2010-01-20, adding the code element 'shd' for Kundal Shahi."<BR>
<BR>whereas I should write:<BR>=> ??<BR>
<BR> "This registration tracks a change made to ISO 639-3 effective<BR> 2010-01-20, retiring{/deprecating} the code element 'drh' for Darkhat {in favor of 'khk'}."<BR>
<BR>
Correct? (The informattion in brackets is for an alternative version, if you prefer that; otherwise I will omit it and use the word 'retiring'.)<BR>
<BR>Also I assume I need "Added," "Deprecated, and "Preferred-value" fields in the registration form as these are relevant.<BR>(And maybe a "Comments" field (as for 'heploc')?? Or no maybe not?)<BR>
<BR>
Finally, for the subtag, 'lut'<BR>
<BR>("Existing languages in this subgroup<BR>of Salish languages are<BR>Southern Puget Sound Salish<BR>[slh], Skagit [ska], and<BR>Snohomish [sno]")--<BR>
<BR>
what is the 'Preferred-value'?<BR>I assume I should just leave it blank. Let me know if otherwise.<BR>
<BR>
My example is below; I will email all sometime tomorrow<BR>(with the fields as I have them except for the comments which I will not have<BR>and without the text in brackets and with the 'Preferred-value' field for 'lut' empty--unless I hear otherwise;<BR>but I think the requestor is still Doug Ewell or Michael Everson--I assume I am just copying clerical data the same way Doug copied and revised the 'heploc' deprecation request record but left the requestor as "Frank Bennett").<BR>
