From: "JFC (Jefsey) Morfin" <jefsey(_at_)jefsey(_dot_)com>
XML, HTML, etc. are not IETF protocols and should not be the main
consideration in IETF work on IETF documents,
They are specifically quoted by the Charter. Also is CLDR...
These are cited in the charter only as examples in a statement to the
effect that "the RFC 3066 standard for language tags has been widely
adopted in various protocols and text formats..."
It is to note that ISO 639-4 work is about discussing guidelines in
that area. This work is under way and was not considered.
Mr. Morfin appears to me to have no more than a very vague sense of the
scope of ISO 639-4.
