<DIV>I'm getting ready to write the registration form for Early Modern</DIV>
<DIV>English, and I'm not sure what subtag value to list. So far
we've</DIV>
<DIV>talked about:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>- 'emode', rejected due to awkward look</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>- 'earlymod', rejected due to potential of inappropriate reuse</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>- 'emodeng', no official verdict yet</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>- 'tudor', might indicate too tight a historical period; could allow</DIV>
<DIV> subtag to be used with Cornish as well (but I still don't see
how)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>- several other suggestions combining a year and the name of an
author</DIV>
<DIV> or work, such as '1611kjv'</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I just found the phrase "Jacobethan period" in David Crystal's book</DIV>
<DIV>"Think on My Words: Exploring Shakespeare's Language", which might</DIV>
<DIV>suggest a subtag 'jacobeth'. This would cover an even shorter
time</DIV>
<DIV>period than 'tudor', but would at least cover Shakespeare's lifetime,</DIV>
<DIV>for those who worry about that.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any additional thoughts? What should we go with?</DIV>
