The IESG has received a request to consider Tags for the Identification
of Languages <draft-alvestrand-lang-tag-v2-05.txt> as a BCP. This has
been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working
Group.
This document will obsolete RFC1766, currently a Proposed Standard.
If RFC 1766 is obsoleted, wouldn't any Proposed Standard which has
a normative reference to RFC 1766 also be obsolete?
This would include RFC 2596 (Use of Language Codes in LDAP) and
likely others. Has anyone a complete list of Standard Track RFC
which have normative references to 1766? I believe that such
is needed to judge the impact of the proposal.
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send any comments to the
iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org or ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by November
20, 2000.
