Language subtag modification form for 1694acad (Was: Flavors of Hepburn)

[CE Whitehead]

Hi!
 
I believe the reason there is no date listed for "Early Modern French" is that it persisted a bit later in the 'New World' than in the 'Old.'  (In the old it did not  persist much past 1660; in the new it persisted in some degree until near the end of the 17th century!)   I feel I should now insert "ending late 17th century" or something into the description field??  Wouldn't that be a better solution?

 

(I don't mean to take attention away from the current request for [hepburn] but Doug's message, http://www.alvestrand.no/pipermail/ietf-languages/2009-September/009485.html  made it obvious that the description field for [1694acad] was not so precise as was that for [1606nict].)

 

Thanks.
