<br><br>I was asking was whether or not it would be wise or even necesasry to also use the prefixes [en-Latn] , etc., and whether doing so would in any way affect matching (given that the default script for these languages is in all cases [Latn] anyway)? <br><br>I was also attempting to reiterate what's in RFC 5646, that in the future more languages could be added as prefixes, or alternately the prefix could be removed altogether; however no single language prefix could be deleted from the list.<br><br>In any case, the current registration request, as you all have revised it, looks great (-: <br><br>Best,<br><br>--C.
