Dave Singer scripsit:
This spec. should unambiguously allow me to extract the language,
country, script etc.,
It does (and RFC 3066 does not).
should say under what circumstances two
sub-tags of any type match, state the obvious that two tags exactly
match if they have the same sub-tags and they all match, that partial
perfect matches (of tags with differing numbers of sub-tags) are
possible and may be applicable, and that the use of imperfect matches
(in which not all sub-tags match) has to be application-specific.
Except for the point that tags match if they are (case-insensitively)
identical, which is already made, we don't believe that any of these
other things can be normatively enunciated.
