Recently I foolishly said:
Oh yes, I remember now, 639 country codes for use as
language tags.
and I also later on said:
Rolling our own is absurd, but I still dont like the
poor fit of country code ~= language, still I have to
admit that nothing better seems available.
boy do my socks taste awfull.
I completely withdraw the above comments, 639 is in fact
an eminantly usefull list of language codes, I erred in
stateing otherwise.
Thanks to the quiet diplomacy of John Kleinsin for pointing
out my "confusion", I now need only imagine what my socks
would have tasted like had they been roasted
