I don't know what does the "majoring in the minors" mean, but I know
that the whole point of all this arguing, actually, is to make the
IANA sort of implicitly "legitimise" the description "classic" of this
particular language version, by including it, out of the context, in
the "visible fields".

I guess this is the whole reason why including, *additionally*, the
English translation of the title of the book in the *later-visible*
fields (which would have the cherished word) is called "unfair".

The term "classic" is, if used out of context and outside the users'
group, ambiguous, preposterous and offensive by implication.
