Dear Michael,
I do thank you to document my point.

We here are at the IETF. What is at stake is the network(ed) support of 
languages. There is no doubt that you are a language expert, what I am not. 
My area is networking architecture and my research is how the network 
architecture should support languages. I hoped you would specify your 
needs. You prefer to tell us our job. OK, so I need to look at it by myself.

This English speaking list fully documents how English language 
interoperates with other languages when it is at the core (where everyone 
accepts to use English). Due to the importance of English on the Web, it is 
of the essence to document how it interoperates when it is not at the core 
(on another language mailing list).

Since you say you learned French, I tested a mail in French. I am now in a 
position to document that English language when addressed in French 
language responds in Irish language. Further studies are now necessary.

Interesting.
