LANGUAGE TAG REGISTRATION FORM (Newspeak)

"A dozen words" are not the main difference between Oldspeak and Newspeak.
Much greater dissimilarity can be found in the grammar.

A more likely case of usage would be <span lang="en">uneasy</span> vs. <span
lang="x-en-newspeak">uneasy</span>. The latter doesn't mean "anxious" or
"nervous", but simply "difficult". Such tagging would potentially clarify
e.g. <URL:http://www.maison-otaku.net/~mikado/write/orig/2084.txt>.
