acade - LANGUAGE SUBTAG REGISTRATION FORM

[CE Whitehead]

Hi, either [akademy] or [1959acad] satisfies the length requirement.     However, I see now Michael Everson's point that the academy could publish a very different standard in the future; so, unless the 2008 and 1959 versions are sufficiently different that you want to register both as separate versions sometime soon, I withdraw my earlier support of [akademy] (my goof). I guess a subtag name such as [rev2008]  ("revised 2008") could be used with [1959acad] if you at some point wanted to distinguish the 2008 variety from the 1959 variety. --C. E.
