I almost mentioned that but I didn't want my mail to drag on ☺ IMO we already have some issues like that, and there are inconsistencies still in best-practices. (like suppress-script, which sometimes is used and sometimes not). So I'm not too worried about the possibility of synonyms. -Shawn -----Original Message----- From: Doug Ewell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2017 4:05 PM To: Shawn Steele <[email protected]>; Michael Everson <[email protected]>; Peter Constable <[email protected]> Cc: ietflang IETF Languages Discussion <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Need decisions on proposed new and updated subtags Shawn Steele wrote: > I think that there's no harm in registering -spanglis (or other > possible requests like -hinglish) even if a more general solution for > that concept is agreed upon in the future. One drawback is that we end up either with multiple mechanisms to denote the same thing, or with deprecated subtags which some implementations may have already been embedded in amber (the way Java still prefers 'iw' over 'he') . -- Doug Ewell | Thornton, CO, US | ewellic.org _______________________________________________ Ietf-languages mailing list [email protected] http://www.alvestrand.no/mailman/listinfo/ietf-languages
