John C Klensin scripsit:
Content-language: <3066-tag>
X-Extended-Content-language: <new-tag>
This reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of what the draft does
compared to what RFC 3066 does. It imposes *more* restraints on language
tags, not fewer. The RFC 3066 language tag registration process can
register tags with almost unpredictable meaning once one gets past the
first subtag. The draft *limits* the possible tags to a small subset,
and tightens up the allowable semantics. It allows no tag to be used
that was not already registerable under RFC 3066.
In RFC 3066, it is only a heuristic (or examination of the IANA registry,
which is not machine-parseable) that tells the meaning of the second
subtag the existing registered tag sr-Latn. In the draft, its meaning
is unambiguously specified a priori.
