[Ltru] RE: [newsml-2] japanese scripts (was: person/name given and family elements)

Just because 3066bis is not published with an RFC number yet doesn’t mean
that it isn’t BCP 47, does it? That isn’t how the process was presented to
me. I’ve been told repeatedly that once the RFC-to-be has passed through the
process to IESG approval, we’re done. (And the appearance of the new
registry is evidence of this.) If you need a subtag, submit a 3066bis
request and let’s testdrive the system

Unfortunately, this page:

    http://www.iana.org/numbers.html#L

says:

    "No further registrations in this registry."

in relation to the RFC 3066 language tags registry.

 

I suppose that if the IETF takes much longer to move RFC 3066 bis to RFC
status, we may have to lobby for the RFC 3066 registry to be re-opened.
We're now stuck between one system which has closed and another which has
not yet opened.

It's worth noting that the XML 1.0 specification does explicitly allow for
values in a form defined by RFC 3066's successor to be used in xml:lang
attributes: http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#sec-lang-tag

The danger of course is that existing consumers may not fully understand the
new syntax.  Since there are really no NewsML 2 consumers yet, that's
probably not an issue for us. 

If RFC 3066 bis is too far in the future, we might look at registering
jp-Hani & friends, the same way zh-Hans & zh-Hant were done.

cheers,

Rob

Therefore your proposal is to explicitly and provisionally allow for
xml:lang="jp-Hani", isn't it?

It would be a bad idea to introduce a "script" attribute now, just before
draft-ietf-ltru-registry [1] becomes an RFC, replacing RFC 3066.

Takahiro, 

 

The xml:lang attribute can take values indicating a script: it is the case
for zh-Hans and zh-Hant (Traditional vs. Simplified Chinese), isn't it?

 

I see that it is not currently used for Japanese scripts (kanji, katagana,
hiragana).

 

I spotted:

http://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/ 

" There is a need, sometimes, to distinguish the script used, in addition to
the language. For example, Mongolian might be written in Mongolian script or
Cyrillic; Croatian might be written in Latin or Cyrillic; ..."

 

Then http://www.inter-locale.com/ID/draft-ietf-ltru-registry-13.html#script 

"Script subtags are used to indicate the script or writing system variations
that distinguish the written forms of a language or its dialects. The
following rules apply to the script subtags: "

 

Then http://www.unicode.org/iso15924/iso15924-codes.html 

And found the tokens found in HR-ML samples 

- Hani (for Kanji)

- Kana (Katakana)

- Hrkt (alias for Hiragana + Katakana)

 

My question: Can't we already express script with xml:lang="jp-Hani" ?

(I imagine that it would not be RFC3066 compliant any more).

 

If not, should we then create a specific attribute, as a sibling of
xml:lang, in all elements supporting strings, that will be deprecated when
the replacement of RFC3066 is standardized? If so, why are we the only group
looking at this problem?

 

Laurent

I would explain from the view of Japanese people.

 

> With Japanese comes another factor: two scripts for one language.

Yes! this is the thing what I want to say.

   We always need two scripts in the application form such as resident
registration, curriculum vitae(résumé), application form when the online
shopping...

   One is for the formal printable name.  The other one is for the
pronunciation.  There is many ways to write a pronunciation such as
Hiragana, Katakana, multiple-romanisations.  But there is needed only one
pronunciation in one application form because we can convert to another.
This pronunciation is also used for the name list with order by
pronunciation.  Japanese people do not use order by Alphabetical nor order
by Kanji.
