Valencian registration (Was: LANGUAGE SUBTAG REGISTRATION FORM

[Addison Phillips]

That's hilarious. In Valencia, presumably the language is called 
"Valencian". So we'd have "Valencian variation of Valencian" :-).

I don't think we should ignore the existing description of 'ca' as 
Valencian.

In other words, if you make the Description 'Valencia' (the place), it 
will be more accurate. Then "ca-valencia" would mean roughly "Valencian 
as spoken in Valencia". Just because its a subtag of type "variant" 
doesn't mean that the defined meaning isn't regional or geographic in 
nature.
