This is all resolved, and I'm not trying to re-open anything. I just though=
t people might be interested in some background on the term "Dayak" and why=
 it's not sensible to try to infer genetic associations based on that term.

"Dayak" is not a linguonym but rather an ethnonym or, even, a socionym. Wha=
t was explained to me some years back is that its history is a pejorative t=
erm used by the "civilized" Muslim majority on the island of Borneo to refe=
r to the many uncivilized, non-Muslim "tribal" minorities.

I ran into this when doing early prep work for ISO 639-3: trying to figure =
out how the entry day in 639-2 should relate to entries in Ethnologue. The =
MARC Language Code List, which was the source for 639-2, used day to encomp=
ass languages that cut across major divisions of the Western Malayo-Polynes=
ian language family. At the time, 639-2 treated it as an individual languag=
e ("languages" was not part of the name). The options were (a) to specify t=
he denotation to some particular language (in spite of MARC), (b) change th=
e scope to be a genetic collection and find some node in the W M-P language=
-family hierarchy to identify it with (breaking with past MARC usage, but l=
ess severely), (c) define the scope to be some ad-hoc collection (perhaps f=
ollowing MARC documentation), or (d) to deprecate it. The decision taken by=
 the JAC was to treat it as a collection. As ISO 639 does not document the =
precise denotation of collections, the choice between options (b) and (c) w=
as left undetermined.

If someone wants to try to improve on nailing down this bit of jello, good =
luck! :)

Hi, Kent, Doug:

It seems to me that
at ethnologue:
Dayak, Land [dyk] is a subset of the Land Dayak group of languages:
http://www.ethnologue.com/show_family.asp?subid=3D91242

(There is also a separate group of languages there, Malayic Dayak which is =
under the group Malayik and not the group Land Dayak; both Malayik (in the =
"Ibanic" group) and Land Dayak are classified as Malayo-Polynesian but they=
 are not the same--not in Wikipedia either; Wikipedia classifies both as Da=
yak it seems.

So it may be just the naming that is different.

That's as near as I can make this classification out.)

Thanks.

They are, in fact, the wild men from Borneo who have just (more or less)
come to town.

The results are in some sense accurate and complete, given the history of

As CS is now being used as a preferred value, deprecated or not, there isn't
a compelling motivation to remove the preferred value for YU.

 

Please eliminate this needless change that breaks applications relying on

Hello Chris,

[I'm assuming you are the acting AD currently.
I'm cc'ing Alex so he knows what might be comming up for him.]

I'm glad to finally request IETF LAST CALL for
draft-ietf-ltru-4645bis(-10) and draft-ietf-ltru-4646bis(-21),
the two current WG documents of the LTRU WG.
The intended status of 4645bis is informational,
the intended status of 4646bis is BCP (BCP 47 together
with RFC 4647, which stays as it is).

I'm sending the shepherding documents in separate mails,
but I'm using this mail as a trigger; that's what Ted Hardie
told me to do when I did this thing last time.

If I need to do anything else, please don't hesitate to tell me.

Regards,    Martin.

[template from http://www.ietf.org/IESG/content/Doc-Writeup.html]

    (1.a) Who is the Document Shepherd for this document?

Martin Duerst (duerst@it.aoyama.ac.jp, LTRU WG co-chair)

          Has the 
          Document Shepherd personally reviewed this version of the 
          document and, in particular, does he or she believe this 
          version is ready for forwarding to the IESG for publication?

Yes, I have personally reviewed it, and concluded that this
version is ready for forwarding to the IESG for

    (1.b) Has the document had adequate review both from key WG members 
          and from key non-WG members?

Yes.

                                       Does the Document Shepherd have 
          any concerns about the depth or breadth of the reviews that 
          have been performed?

No.

    (1.c) Does the Document Shepherd have concerns that the document 
          needs more review from a particular or broader perspective, 
          e.g., security, operational complexity, someone familiar with 
          AAA, internationalization or XML?

No.

    (1.d) Does the Document Shepherd have any specific concerns or 
          issues with this document that the Responsible Area Director 
          and/or the IESG should be aware of? For example, perhaps he 
          or she is uncomfortable with certain parts of the document, or 
          has concerns whether there really is a need for it. In any 
          event, if the WG has discussed those issues and has indicated 
          that it still wishes to advance the document, detail those 
          concerns here. Has an IPR disclosure related to this document 
          been filed? If so, please include a reference to the 
          disclosure and summarize the WG discussion and conclusion on 
          this issue.

There are no specific concerns or issues that I would know of.

    (1.e) How solid is the WG consensus behind this document? Does it 
          represent the strong concurrence of a few individuals, with 
          others being silent, or does the WG as a whole understand and 
          agree with it?

Overall, I think the whole WG understands it and agrees with it.
There were a few points where there was long-lasting disagreement
and discussion, but for which we found solutions acceptable in
all scenarios. The main such point was the treatment of extlangs.

    (1.f) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme 
          discontent? If so, please summarise the areas of conflict in 
          separate email messages to the Responsible Area Director. (It 
          should be in a separate email because this questionnaire is 
          entered into the ID Tracker.)

Yes.

    (1.g) Has the Document Shepherd personally verified that the 
          document satisfies all ID nits? (See 
          http://www.ietf.org/ID-Checklist.html and 
          http://tools.ietf.org/tools/idnits/). Boilerplate checks are 
          not enough; this check needs to be thorough. Has the document 
          met all formal review criteria it needs to, such as the MIB 
          Doctor, media type and URI type reviews?

Yes for ID nits. MIB, media type, URI considerations don't apply.

    (1.h) Has the document split its references into normative and 
          informative? Are there normative references to documents that 
          are not ready for advancement or are otherwise in an unclear 
          state? If such normative references exist, what is the 
          strategy for their completion? Are there normative references 
          that are downward references, as described in [RFC3967]? If 
          so, list these downward references to support the Area 
          Director in the Last Call procedure for them [RFC3967].

Yes for the split. No for unclear or downward references.

    (1.i) Has the Document Shepherd verified that the document IANA 
          consideration section exists and is consistent with the body 
          of the document? If the document specifies protocol 
          extensions, are reservations requested in appropriate IANA 
          registries? Are the IANA registries clearly identified? If 
          the document creates a new registry, does it define the 
          proposed initial contents of the registry and an allocation 
          procedure for future registrations? Does it suggest a 
          reasonable name for the new registry? See [RFC5226]. If the 
          document describes an Expert Review process has Shepherd 
          conferred with the Responsible Area Director so that the IESG 
          can appoint the needed Expert during the IESG Evaluation?

The document updates the procedures for the IANA Language Subtag Registry
(and the Language Tag Extension registry, which is mostly dormant).
The document contains the following language:

   The Language Subtag Reviewer is appointed by the IESG for an
   indefinite term, subject to removal or replacement at the IESG's
   discretion.  The IESG will solicit nominees for the position (upon
   adoption of this document or upon a vacancy) and then solicit
   feedback on the nominees' qualifications.  Qualified candidates
   should be familiar with BCP 47 and its requirements; be willing to
   fairly, responsively, and judiciously administer the registration
   process; and be suitably informed about the issues of language
   identification so that the reviewer can assess the claims and draw
   upon the contributions of language experts and subtag requesters.

The IESG will therefore have to solicit nominees for this position
again when this document is adopted.

    (1.j) Has the Document Shepherd verified that sections of the 
          document that are written in a formal language, such as XML 
          code, BNF rules, MIB definitions, etc., validate correctly in 
          an automated checker?

The ABNF for language tags in Figure 1 in the previous draft (-20.txt)
has passed http://www.fenron.com/~fenner/abnf.cgi without errors.
There were no changes in the ABNF between -20 and -21, but
www.fenron.com currently doesn't seem to be reachable.

    (1.k) The IESG approval announcement includes a Document 
          Announcement Write-Up. Please provide such a Document 
          Announcement Write-Up?

[there is no need for a question mark here :-]

                                 Recent examples can be found in the
          "Action" announcements for approved documents. The approval 
          announcement contains the following sections: 
          Technical Summary 
             Relevant content can frequently be found in the abstract 
             and/or introduction of the document. If not, this may be 
             an indication that there are deficiencies in the abstract 
             or introduction. 
          Working Group Summary 
             Was there anything in WG process that is worth noting? For 
             example, was there controversy about particular points or 
             were there decisions where the consensus was particularly 
             rough? 
          Document Quality 
             Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Have a 
             significant number of vendors indicated their plan to 
             implement the specification? Are there any reviewers that 
             merit special mention as having done a thorough review, 
             e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a 
             conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? If 
             there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type or other expert review, 
             what was its course (briefly)? In the case of a Media Type 
             review, on what date was the request posted?

This document describes the structure, content, construction, and
semantics of language tags for use in cases where it is desirable to
indicate the language used in an information object. It also
describes how to register values for use in language tags and the
creation of user-defined extensions for private interchange.
This document is an update of RFC4646. The main change is the
addition of thousands of three-letter language subtags for languages
for which tagging was not possible up to now. Also, the registry
format and procedures were adjusted to deal with this change,
and to reflect experience from current practice.

The WG process for this document was mostly smooth and revolving 
around details. There were some highly contentious issues, but
for all of them, a solution was found that was acceptable to
the involved parties and works for all scenarios identified.

The IANA Language Subtag Registry, and the language tags that can
be formed according to this document and its predecessor, are widely
used across the Internet to identify languages, both in implementations
(code) and in a wide range of data.


Regards,     Martin.

[template from http://www.ietf.org/IESG/content/Doc-Writeup.html]

    (1.a) Who is the Document Shepherd for this document?

Martin Duerst (duerst@it.aoyama.ac.jp, LTRU WG co-chair)

          Has the 
          Document Shepherd personally reviewed this version of the 
          document and, in particular, does he or she believe this 
          version is ready for forwarding to the IESG for publication?

Yes, I have personally reviewed it, and concluded that this
version is ready for forwarding to the IESG for

    (1.b) Has the document had adequate review both from key WG members 
          and from key non-WG members?

Yes. Due to its nature, the bulk of the document has mostly been
'reviewed' by cross-checking programs.

                                       Does the Document Shepherd have 
          any concerns about the depth or breadth of the reviews that 
          have been performed?

No.

    (1.c) Does the Document Shepherd have concerns that the document 
          needs more review from a particular or broader perspective, 
          e.g., security, operational complexity, someone familiar with 
          AAA, internationalization or XML?

No. The document mainly contains public data, which isn't security-
relevant. The considerable increase in size of the IANA registry has
been discussed directly with IANA.

    (1.d) Does the Document Shepherd have any specific concerns or 
          issues with this document that the Responsible Area Director 
          and/or the IESG should be aware of? For example, perhaps he 
          or she is uncomfortable with certain parts of the document, or 
          has concerns whether there really is a need for it. In any 
          event, if the WG has discussed those issues and has indicated 
          that it still wishes to advance the document, detail those 
          concerns here. Has an IPR disclosure related to this document 
          been filed? If so, please include a reference to the 
          disclosure and summarize the WG discussion and conclusion on 
          this issue.

There are no specific concerns or issues that I would know of.

    (1.e) How solid is the WG consensus behind this document? Does it 
          represent the strong concurrence of a few individuals, with 
          others being silent, or does the WG as a whole understand and 
          agree with it?

I don't have any doubt that the WG as a whole understands it and
agrees it, because it makes available several thousand new language
subtags for languages which up to now cannot be tagged. For some
issues (e.g. the treatment of extlangs), there has been intense
discussion with diametrally opposing positions, but we were able
to find a solution that was acceptable to everybody.

    (1.f) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme 
          discontent? If so, please summarise the areas of conflict in 
          separate email messages to the Responsible Area Director. (It 
          should be in a separate email because this questionnaire is 
          entered into the ID Tracker.)

Yes.

    (1.g) Has the Document Shepherd personally verified that the 
          document satisfies all ID nits? (See 
          http://www.ietf.org/ID-Checklist.html and 
          http://tools.ietf.org/tools/idnits/). Boilerplate checks are 
          not enough; this check needs to be thorough. Has the document 
          met all formal review criteria it needs to, such as the MIB 
          Doctor, media type and URI type reviews?

Yes for ID nits. MIB, media type, URI considerations don't apply.

    (1.h) Has the document split its references into normative and 
          informative? Are there normative references to documents that 
          are not ready for advancement or are otherwise in an unclear 
          state? If such normative references exist, what is the 
          strategy for their completion? Are there normative references 
          that are downward references, as described in [RFC3967]? If 
          so, list these downward references to support the Area 
          Director in the Last Call procedure for them [RFC3967].

Yes for the split. No for unclear or downward references.

    (1.i) Has the Document Shepherd verified that the document IANA 
          consideration section exists and is consistent with the body 
          of the document? If the document specifies protocol 
          extensions, are reservations requested in appropriate IANA 
          registries? Are the IANA registries clearly identified? If 
          the document creates a new registry, does it define the 
          proposed initial contents of the registry and an allocation 
          procedure for future registrations? Does it suggest a 
          reasonable name for the new registry? See [RFC5226]. If the 
          document describes an Expert Review process has Shepherd 
          conferred with the Responsible Area Director so that the IESG 
          can appoint the needed Expert during the IESG Evaluation?

The document provides content for an actual update of the IANA Language
Subtag Registry. The details are clearly spelled out in the IANA section,
and the most crucial aspects of this update have already been discussed
with IANA.

    (1.j) Has the Document Shepherd verified that sections of the 
          document that are written in a formal language, such as XML 
          code, BNF rules, MIB definitions, etc., validate correctly in 
          an automated checker?

The bulk of the document is in a format defined in draft-ietf-ltru-4646bis.
I haven't verified this myself, but several members of the WG have,
with their own tools.

    (1.k) The IESG approval announcement includes a Document 
          Announcement Write-Up. Please provide such a Document 
          Announcement Write-Up?

[there is no need for a question mark here :-]

                                 Recent examples can be found in the
          "Action" announcements for approved documents. The approval 
          announcement contains the following sections: 
          Technical Summary 
             Relevant content can frequently be found in the abstract 
             and/or introduction of the document. If not, this may be 
             an indication that there are deficiencies in the abstract 
             or introduction. 
          Working Group Summary 
             Was there anything in WG process that is worth noting? For 
             example, was there controversy about particular points or 
             were there decisions where the consensus was particularly 
             rough? 
          Document Quality 
             Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Have a 
             significant number of vendors indicated their plan to 
             implement the specification? Are there any reviewers that 
             merit special mention as having done a thorough review, 
             e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a 
             conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? If 
             there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type or other expert review, 
             what was its course (briefly)? In the case of a Media Type 
             review, on what date was the request posted?

This memo defines the procedure used to update the IANA Language
Subtag Registry in conjunction with the publication of
draft-ietf-ltru-4646bis [NOTE: replace with actual RFC number],
for use in forming tags for identifying languages. As an Internet-Draft,
it also contained a complete replacement of the contents of the Registry
to be used by IANA in updating it. This update adds several thousand
language codes to the registry, which will allow these languages to
be identified appropriately on the Internet. To prevent confusion, the
actual registry contents was removed before publication as an RFC.

The WG process for this document was mostly smooth and revolving 
around details. This document also reflects changes defined in
draft-ietf-ltru-4646bis, which are disussed in a separate writeup.

The data contained in the document when it was an Internet Draft
has been read and processed by several tools the implement parsing
of the registry format and additional operations on this data.

As ltru co-chair: it's exceedingly late for such an objection - the issue was
discussed at length in the working group over a year ago.  A recent
revisiting of the question arrived at the same conclusion.

> This change breaks the equivalence class relation between YU and CS.
> It detrimentally changes the behavior of existing implementations.

As a technical contributor:

The main reason that CS does not make sense as a preferred value for
YU is that there is *not* an "equivalence class relation" between them.
There are pieces of what was YU that are not covered by CS.  To treat
them as an "equivalence class" ignores linguistic, geographic, and
political reality.

> The loss of the relationship between YU and CS makes documents that were
> believed to be tagged equivalently, to no longer be equivalent.

In my opinion, regarding them as equivalent is an error, since
CS and YU don't encompass the same regions.

> There is also no benefit to this change.

I disagree.  The change removes an error.

> To be concrete, assume a user attempts to find documents for languages from Yugoslavia.

Language tags do *not* pretend to be able to answer this sort of query.

Using a region subtag (e.g. 'CS') says that the data subtag uses a specific
variety of the primary language, and that the party tagging the data believes
that this distinction is useful.  For example, I could tag this paragraph with
'en' or with 'en-US'.  Is that extra distinction necessary or useful?  In this
case, no.  Consequently, the "retrieving documents by region subtag" use case,
although technically permitted by RFC 4647, is not realistic, and in many
ways contrary to the basic "tag wisely" principle.

No, they are not.
  (1) there is no requirement, much less a guarantee, that the data will
      bear a region subtag at all
  (2) there are many bits and pieces of YU not covered by CS - 
      even if data always bore a region subtag, the YU->CS mapping
      would miss all the other territory that once belonged to YU.
  (3) blindly replacing all YU subtags with CS subtags would in fact
      falsify some data, since the language could well be of a variety
      covered by YU but not by CS.

> After this change in the preferred value relationship, the query

The relationship cannot be adequately automated with a simple
one-way pointer like "preferred-value".  The former YU also
encompassed BA, HR, ME, MK, RS, and SI.

If someone (or something) is applying region subtags, they'd better
have sufficient knowledge of the language varieties to do so meaningfully.
This effectively requires *understanding* those comments and much more.
The Language Subtag Registry does *not* attempt to record all the
information needed to recognize language varieties.  Rather, once
someone (or something) has made a distinction, the LSR provides
the bits needed to encode a tag for that language variety.

In the particular case of the languages of the former YU, the
region subtags now available (such as BA, HR, ME, MK, RS, and SI)
are arguably far more useful, if someone needs to distinguish
regional variations in their Croatian-language data, than just YU.
(It's unclear to me whether YU would ever have been terribly useful,
since it would allow the distinction of Croatian as spoken there
from Croatian spoken somewhere (where?) else.)

> As CS is now being used as a preferred value, deprecated or not,

Please, let's look at the actual tagged language data.
What corpora out there have employed YU (correctly) as a subtag?
To what extent would replacing that subtag with 'CS' (rather than
with BA, HR, ME, MK, RS, or SI) be correct, for Serbian, Croatian,
or any of the other languages of that region?

> Please eliminate this needless change that breaks applications
> relying on the relationship between YU and CS.

I would argue rather than an application that relies on an
equivalence relation between YU and CS is already in some sense
broken, in the same way as one assuming that Russia and the
Soviet Union are somehow equivalent.

Hi guys,

I sent the message to this list (as well as LTRU) in the belief I was
following the instructions given to me...
(My mail actually preceded Martin's request to the AD.)

I admit to confusion about the suggestion I can register the change after
4645bis is accepted.
4645bis changes a code that exists already. I shouldn't have to reregister
it to restore it.
If anything, have 4645bis go forward without the change, and the change can
be discussed separately.

I'll pursue the discussion on the ltru list as requested and respond to
Randy's other comments there.

Tex's posting came after the document shepherd (co-chair Martin Duerst)
had sent the information to our AD requesting that the IESG consider
publishing it.  So although the IESG has not yet (AFAIK) acted on the
request, much less issued an IETF last call, I can understand why
ietf@ietf.org might be included.

I have already responded to it on both lists, even though I think the
issue is probably of little interest to most on the ietf@ietf.org list.
Unless instructed to do otherwise by our AD, I would suggest that
all follow-on discussion be directed to ltru@ietf.org

Tex's message was posted to *both* lists.

Correct.

Randy, et al.

1) I agree the equivalence is faulty. However, it has been established and
in existence for some time.
Correcting the error in the manner proposed does a greater damage.

2) If comments were a suitable solution, then it could be argued that adding
a comment to CS that despite it being a preferred value of YU it might not
be the best choice. At least then the equivalence would not be lost.

3) I agree with you and retract the statement that "there is no benefit" to
the proposed change. I instead claim the benefit does not outweigh the harm
caused.

4) I am surprised by your remarks with respect to en vs en-US. Of course the
distinction could be significant. If I want to find documents about a
"jumper", en-US vs en-GB will be significant. Or if the count is a
"billion". The fact that it might not be relevant to the one paragraph you
wrote does not mean it is irrelevant in all other statements.

Frankly it doesn't make sense to argue that the regional subtag is not
significant, but it is different and important enough to warrant breaking
the equivalence.

5) The search query was an example to demonstrate the significance of
breaking the equivalence. The problem will show itself in other linguistic
applications where the differences are significant.

6) I agree YU=> CS is an unfortunate occurrence in the registry. I disagree
we should fix it in the manner proposed.
It is one thing to optimize preferred values. It is another thing entirely
to have them changing in a way that breaks or redefines existing tags. 

7) The registry was created to ensure language tag stability. If we treat
preferred values as proposed, we lose stability.
We would be better off without preferred value relationships at all if we
can't ensure stability.

8) I do not want to undermine the standard moving forward. I do think this
particular issue is bad policy and precedent. I am not intimately familiar
with the way that IETF treats these drafts and the last call process etc.
What are the options here for addressing this without derailing the
standard?

As ltru co-chair: it's exceedingly late for such an objection - the issue
was
discussed at length in the working group over a year ago.  A recent
revisiting of the question arrived at the same conclusion.

> This change breaks the equivalence class relation between YU and CS.
> It detrimentally changes the behavior of existing implementations.

As a technical contributor:

The main reason that CS does not make sense as a preferred value for
YU is that there is *not* an "equivalence class relation" between them.
There are pieces of what was YU that are not covered by CS.  To treat
them as an "equivalence class" ignores linguistic, geographic, and
political reality.

> The loss of the relationship between YU and CS makes documents that were
> believed to be tagged equivalently, to no longer be equivalent.

In my opinion, regarding them as equivalent is an error, since
CS and YU don't encompass the same regions.

> There is also no benefit to this change.

I disagree.  The change removes an error.

> To be concrete, assume a user attempts to find documents for languages
from Yugoslavia.

Language tags do *not* pretend to be able to answer this sort of query.

Using a region subtag (e.g. 'CS') says that the data subtag uses a specific
variety of the primary language, and that the party tagging the data
believes
that this distinction is useful.  For example, I could tag this paragraph
with
'en' or with 'en-US'.  Is that extra distinction necessary or useful?  In
this
case, no.  Consequently, the "retrieving documents by region subtag" use
case,
although technically permitted by RFC 4647, is not realistic, and in many
ways contrary to the basic "tag wisely" principle.

No, they are not.
  (1) there is no requirement, much less a guarantee, that the data will
      bear a region subtag at all
  (2) there are many bits and pieces of YU not covered by CS - 
      even if data always bore a region subtag, the YU->CS mapping
      would miss all the other territory that once belonged to YU.
  (3) blindly replacing all YU subtags with CS subtags would in fact
      falsify some data, since the language could well be of a variety
      covered by YU but not by CS.

The relationship cannot be adequately automated with a simple
one-way pointer like "preferred-value".  The former YU also
encompassed BA, HR, ME, MK, RS, and SI.

If someone (or something) is applying region subtags, they'd better
have sufficient knowledge of the language varieties to do so meaningfully.
This effectively requires *understanding* those comments and much more.
The Language Subtag Registry does *not* attempt to record all the
information needed to recognize language varieties.  Rather, once
someone (or something) has made a distinction, the LSR provides
the bits needed to encode a tag for that language variety.

In the particular case of the languages of the former YU, the
region subtags now available (such as BA, HR, ME, MK, RS, and SI)
are arguably far more useful, if someone needs to distinguish
regional variations in their Croatian-language data, than just YU.
(It's unclear to me whether YU would ever have been terribly useful,
since it would allow the distinction of Croatian as spoken there
from Croatian spoken somewhere (where?) else.)

Please, let's look at the actual tagged language data.
What corpora out there have employed YU (correctly) as a subtag?
To what extent would replacing that subtag with 'CS' (rather than
with BA, HR, ME, MK, RS, or SI) be correct, for Serbian, Croatian,
or any of the other languages of that region?

> Please eliminate this needless change that breaks applications

I would argue rather than an application that relies on an
equivalence relation between YU and CS is already in some sense
broken, in the same way as one assuming that Russia and the
Soviet Union are somehow equivalent.

Addison,

1) You say preferred-value is not equivalence. You then refer to it as =
canonicalization.

I am confused. How is it not an equivalence?
If you mean that it is one directional (all dogs are mammals, all =
mammals are not dogs) ok. For the purposes of things tagged -YU, -CS is =
an equivalent.

2) Tags are not stable if one day CS is a valid substitute for YU and =
the next day it is not.
The meaning of CS has changed if there is an implied distinction between =
the two.
This is exactly what people are arguing. That YU and CS do not mean the =
same things and therefore YU=3D> CS is incorrect.
When the preferred value relationship is removed the meaning of CS is =
changed.

My point is that the meaning of the tags should be stable and this =
change does not maintain the existing meaning.

3) I don't know how many implementations canonicalize. It is a bad idea =
for standards to change based on "prevalent usage" unless it is known to =
be close to 100%. Otherwise every change will be for the benefit of the =
prevalent users, and over time every user gets damaged by one or another =
change. Standards should protect the investment made in them.

4) I have read 4646bis and considered objecting to its current treatment =
of preferred value. It does not offer a meaningful guideline for the =
circumstances by which they can be changed, it just offers that they can =
be modified. I was hoping that the discussion of YU would shed some =
light on how these issues would be resolved in practice. I would prefer =
not to go that route, but can do.

You know... we have this process, documented in the RFC, for resolving =
differences of opinion like this. It's called the registration process. =
I actually think that having tags canonicalize to point to 'CS' (hey, =
didn't that code used to be Czechoslovakia??) is less good than fixing =
it. But that's my opinion.

Actually, we don't. The tags themselves remain stable and valid. =
Canonicalization is never required. The most prevalent implementations =
don't canonicalize today.

I think our definition of "stability" differs.

It isn't a precedent, really. It's one entry (out of literally =
thousands) in the registry. There is a process for registering =
information that *is* precedent setting and rules for what is and is not =
permitted. I have already pointed out that you may use this process to =
achieve what you want. What's in 4645bis is only a template for the =
actual, operating registry. Once the registry is in operation, you can =
have a Preferred-Value request for YU and there will be a consensus and =
a reviewer decision and all that.

Frankly, I think that the doomsday scenarios you paint for this record =
are a bit alarmist. Countries have and will continue to change identity, =
border, form, etc. and this will impact any tagging scheme that uses =
region codes. The best language tag for Serbian language documents is =
very unlikely to be the same as it was 10 years ago and it may very well =
change again in the future. However, ten years from now all of the tags =
will still be valid and have the same meaning that they had. That is =
stability. Whether we can automatically equate tags such as "sh-YU" and =
"sr-RS" is a separate issue (and there is a long thread about language =
defaulting and such that is useful reading on this very topic).

If you haven't already done so, I'd urge you to read 4646bis and =
participate in the Last Call as necessary.

Addison

As a technical contributor...
To which corpora?  Unless there is a substantial amount of data out there
that has meaningful YU region subtags, this would seem to be mere arm-waving.

As a technical contributor...
An issue for ietf-languages@iana.org if someone files a registration
update request.  I would hope that such a discussion would be backed up
by concrete data about the state of Serbian, Croatian, or other relevant
languages.

As a technical contributor...
I would argue that there is no harm to eliminating the Preferred-Value,
while retaining it causes incorrect results for data with tags including
a YU region subtag where treating it as equivalent to a CS region subtag
would be inappropriate.

As a technical contributor...
The point is that there is abolutely no requirement whatsoever that all
data should bear a region subtag. It's up to the party tagging the data
to decide whether a region subtag would be useful for the purposes
for which the data is being tagged.  Consequently, once cannot use
region subtags to find all data using the language variants associated
with a particular region.  Though that might be an interesting thing to
do, language tags are not designed to support that application.

I'm not arguing that region subtags aren't meaningful or significant, I'm
simply stating the fact that there is absolutely no guarantee that they
will be present.

Doesn't matter.  If the tagger is applying coarser-grained "tag wisely"
principles than the user, this kind of application will produce misleading
results.

What tags will be broken?
What tags will be redefined?  The only "redfinition" is if some hypothetical
data bore a "YU" region subtag, removing the preferred-value prevents
it from being incorrectly redefined in terms of "CS".

As co-chair: this was debated at length in the WG.  The current text
reflects of the rough consensus of the WG.  Keep in mind that
the use of Preferred-Value is RECOMMENDED, not REQUIRED, so
don't read too much into it.

As co-chair:
I see four possible paths:
   (1) Appeal the determination of WG consensus by the co-chairs
        on procedural grounds.  I don't think this would get far, but
        if it succeeded, we'd end up re-opening the issues under (2).
   (2) Appeal the WG consensus on technical grounds.  The
         underlying issues, if I understand your argument correctly, are
         that:
           (a) the Preferred-Value field mapping behaviour should be
                 REQUIRED rather than merely recommended
           (b) the Preferred-Value field needs a replacement whose
                syntax and semantcs can cope with region splits and
                mergers
           (c) the results of applying a canoncalization algorithm
                must be stable over time
        Note that *all* of these questions have been discussed
        at length in the WG.  A re-work, changing the WG consensus
        on all three of these points, would probably be lengthy.
   (3) Raise the issue during IETF last call.  If the IETF consensus
         was that the WG got it wrong, we'd effectively travel the same
         path as (2).
   (4) Submit a subtag registration update request on ietf-languages@iana.org
         after IANA has updated the registry, and try to convince the
         language subtag reviewer that a preferred-value for YU
         should be added.

See my message of April 12 2005 (was intended for April 1): "A Modest
Proposal"

http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ltru/current/msg01060.html

Since it is obvious that all applications in the world will require
extremely fine-grained approach to languages, here is an initial proposal
for development of a separate RFC to deal with them. The goal is to be able
to describe the variety of speech that each person on earth may be using at
a given time. Identification is by means of the location of the speaker and
the time at which the speech could have occurred. The language tag is given
by the following format (formal ABNF to follow).

XLanguageTag ::=3D latitude "-" longitude "-" altitude "-" time

Latitude and longitude are specified by radians, and be measured from 0 to
360 starting at the Prime Meridian going east, and from 0 to 180 starting a=
t
the South Pole and going north. The numeric values below zero are avoided
because the use of the terms "positive" and "negative" when applied to
location can clearly be prejudicial to many of the peoples of the world.
Should in the course of the development of this RFC, the use of the Prime
Meridian be viewed as representative of an English-speaking hegemony, a
random longitude will be chosen as the origin. Use of latitude and longitud=
e
does not, of course, imply in any way that those who believe in a flat eart=
h
or the "four-elephant+turtle system" are in any way discouraged in the
observance of their faith, nor does the use of radians in any way denigrate
the goal of the Kansas State Education Board to recognize the value of =CF=
=80 as
exactly 3.0.

Altitude is in meters above the center of the earth. While some may feel th=
e
likelihood of two speakers being exactly overhead is low, we do -- of
course -- want to plan for all eventualities. By avoiding measurement
against sea level, we again celebrate the diversity of the world's
population, and do not discriminate against the proud inhabitants of Death
Valley and similar locations by in any way referring to them as "negative".

For location, since people rarely overlap in physical space, it will usuall=
y
be sufficient to have accuracy to within 10 cm. But since fractions can be
supplied, applications can have arbitrarily high degree of accuracy.

The time is specified by seconds since 0000-01-00T00:00:00Z (using the
proleptic Gregorian calendar as specified in XML Schema), plus an offset of
1,000,000,000,000,000,000. If finer granularity than seconds is desired,
then fractions can be specified. The reason for the offset is to again avoi=
d
negative numbers, and their implied bias against historic inhabitants. The
offset is chosen as to be well before all current estimates of the Big Bang=
.
Note, however, that this in no way implies any denigration of creationism,
or that believers are in any way discouraged in the observance of their
faith. Nor does it imply that any one system of creationism, such as Greek
or Norse creation theory, is any way inferior to any other, such as that
espoused by the Kansas State Education Board.

Other parts of this proposal, such as security implications, will be
forthcoming.

Hi -

As co-chair...

If you wish, you may include this as part of a proposal to re-charter
this working group.  However, I currently plan to recommend closing
the working group when its current deliverables are published.

As a technical contributor...

I've observed that accent can vary according to the number of
beers consumed.   Perhaps another subtag should be designed to
indicate the speaker's level of intoxication.  Or can we just use the
altitude parameter to indicate how high they are?   :-)

Randy

What about the variant and (genetic) collection codes from ISO 639-6?
That standard is at FDIS stage, and while we certainly shouldn't hold
4646bis on it, it seems to contain material for a 4646ter.

I don't know if that's more or less expensive (in people time, mostly)
than letting LTRU go dormant and then revivifying it.

FWIU, 639-6 codes form a Big Tree, from "all languages" at the top down
through genetic groups, languages, and variants of all sorts (including
script variants).  The codes for languages are harmonized with 639-3's,
so they're already in; the codes for groups are or will be harmonized
with 639-5's.  So what's left is:

(a) codes for language collections that aren't in 639-5, which could
be added to BCP 47 as 4-letter primary language subtags (that size is
currently reserved);

(b) codes for variants other than script and national variants, which
could be added to BCP 47 as 5-character variant subtags by adding a 5th
character (I propose prefixing '6').

Of course the Registry would become bigger than ever, and some of
He Who Must Not Be Named's concerns would actually become realities,
like whether authorized mirrors would be needed to hold down on the
number of downloads.  On the other hand, we could pretty well shut down
ietf-languages@, since there would be little or nothing left to approve
outside the 639 framework.

I wasn't proposing a singleton, but a convention: variant code abcd
would come into BCP 47 as variant subtag 6abcd, to avoid confusing it
with script subtags.

IIRC, it's in FDIS (Final Draft International Standard) state, so about
as close as we are.

As a technical contributor...
Truly supporting the concept of collections would require some serious
work on an update to RFC 4647, among other things.  I think we'd want
to see some serious use cases and requirements from the protocol
community before rechartering / spinning up a new WG.  How would
these be employed in existing IETF protocols?  Do any new protocol
proposals require this facility?  I would not support the idea of keeping
a WG around until we figured out how we were going to use such things.

As co-chair...
Those interested in pursuring further work should prepare a charter update
(with clearly identified deliverables and dates) for discussion.  Expect to be
asked whether we're past the point of diminishing returns.  Iff there is
(rough) consensus in support of that proposal, we can ask our AD to take
it to the IESG.   If not, we'll wrap up the WG after our current deliverables
are published as RFCs, probably with a recommendation to leave the
mailing list active.

I'd be resistant to 4-letter primary language subtags. I have made derivati=
ve use of BCP 47 tag syntax with the modification that the only obligatory =
subtag is the script subtag. Introducing different 4-letter subtags within =
BCP 47 syntax would create conflicts with this or other similar derivative =
uses of our language tag syntax.

I think it may not be apparent to all respondents that while Caoimhín's 
suggestion to tag language usage by latitude and longitude may have been 
serious, Mark's response most certainly was not.

*If* we are to support these code elements, I think this is the right 
place to do so.  The 4-letter language subtag was reserved in BCP 47 for 
exactly this purpose, and if anyone, such as (ahem) Peter, sees a 
conflict with this due to their "derivative use of the language tag 
syntax," I'm sorry to say it, but that is a problem of their own making.

I continue to be strongly opposed to adding hundreds or even thousands 
of variant subtags, using the same mechanism we currently use to 
register variants one by one.  The boonts and fonipas and njivas would 
be completely overwhelmed by the oceans of 6xxxx subtags.

If these don't qualify as language subtags, for whatever reason, then 
they should be encoded using the extension mechanism described in 
Section 3.7 of RFC 4646, preferably with an appropriate singleton such 
as '6'.  This would be orders of magnitude more appropriate than 
variants.

It is very clear that the IETF prefers groups to be shut down
when there's nothing much to do, not excluding the potential
to form a new group again when there is new work to be done.

In the mean time, the custom at the IETF is to keep the mailing
list open, but a mailing list and a WG aren't the same.


>Or it 639-6 that close?

My preference would be to wait for it to be a full ISO standard,
and in the mean time to collect experience with the actual use
of 4646bis.

And a Good Thing Too.  Boontling is a variety of English, and ought
to have a 639-6 code element.  Fonipa is a kludge to compensate for a
limitation in ISO 15924.  With 639-6 we don't need to register variants,
we make people go to 639-6/RA instead.

Most of the 639-6 codes correspond semantically to variant subtags.
Consider 'yoli' (or '6yoli' under my proposal): it's the Yo-Li variety of
the Xinan dialect of Mandarin.  We know this because of the 639-6 parent
data, which shows the following chain:  yoli > xuuk (Xinan dialect,
spoken) > xghu (Xinan dialect) > cmn (Mandarin proper) > micr (Mandarin
cluster) > mycx (Mandarin-Yue complex) > zho (Chinese) > ssic (Sinitic)
> snot (Sino-Tibetan).

This is not, of course, the One True Tree; what's more, it's preliminary
data and subject to change.  But just the fact that 'yoli' is subordinate
to 'cmn', a known individual language code (from the 639-3 data), and
that it isn't cross-referenced with a 3166 or 15924 code, tells us this
is a variant.  The code 'biar' (Bai cluster) > ssic > snot, on the other
hand, is not subordinate to any 639-3 individual language and therefore
is a collection.

You can easily return to compliance by changing all ill-formed wxyz tags
to und-wxyz tags.

As a technical contributor...

I find this line of argument unpersuasive.  We should only
concern ourselves with compatibility with conformant
implementations.  If someone implements something
"derived from" the spec which does not follow it to the
letter, they're on their own.

It is not necessarily non-conformant. I could define a field as follows:

   - if it has 4 characters and no hyphen, it means X
   - otherwise it is interpreted as a BCP 47 language tag.

That is perfectly conformant usage of BCP 47, and would work with the
current spec. The disadvantage is that if BCP47 ever uses 4-letter base
language codes, then you can't represent the full range of BCP47 at that
point. So you definitely take a risk in using such a definition in terms of
future compatibility, but such a definition is not non-conformant.

I disagree.  The field's definition would result in well-formed
tags being analyzed incorrectly.

They are *already* in the grammar.  That's the whole point of
"reserved for future use".

We're talking about two separate issues here:

1. Whether the RFC 4646 decision to reserve 4-letter language subtags 
"for future use," widely assumed to be ISO 639-6, was a good one, and 
specifically whether ISO 639-6-based subtags would add sufficient value 
to BCP 47.

2. Whether a future decision on creating 4-letter language subtags, for 
whatever reason, should be influenced by the existence of one or more 
derivative applications that are non-conformant to BCP 47.

Regarding issue 1, I'm reserving judgment until all of the 639-6 data 
becomes publicly available, and until LTRU and/or ietf-languages have 
had a chance to look at it and start discussing it.  I also agree with 
Martin that some working experience with the 7,500 language subtags 
available in the 4646bis era would be helpful.  As you can tell, I do 
have opinions about how they should be added *if* they are to be added.

Regarding issue 2, I'm very much against letting this be a contributing 
factor.

I mean I'm opposed to adding thousands of variant subtags, either in 
mass *or* one by one, using a formulaic process such as prepending '6' 
to thousands of ISO 639-6 code elements.  Variants are supposed to be 
proposed, discussed, and approved (or rejected) on a case-by-case basis. 
They are not supposed to be a means of shoehorning in another external 
standard.  That is what the other two solutions -- 4-letter language 
subtags and extensions -- are for.

Then if you like, view the "legacy" variants as warts on the side of a 
collection of '6' variants.  Doesn't matter; the warts are not going 
away.

Despite its size and ambitious goals, and the expertise of those 
preparing it, I would be very surprised if 639-6 encompassed a proper 
superset of everything that has ever been (a) registered in the Registry 
or (b) taken seriously but not registered in the Registry, going back to 
the whole tags registered under RFC 1766/3066.  That is one of the major 
problems with claiming that 639-6 will enable ietf-languages to be shut 
down.

The other, of course, is that we have 14 years of history with a 
Reviewer and a discussion list that offers him advice, and RFC 4646 and 
draft-4646bis have expanded their role to include vetting of new and 
changed subtags stemming not only from user requests, but from changes 
to the core ISO and UN standards.  We have six such requests pending 
right now.

I agree with Doug that we'd want to tread very carefully with regards to
adding ISO 639-6. The rollout over a couple of years of the changes that we
are currently making will teach us a lot.

That sounds to me somewhat like a field containing a 16-bit unsigned 
integer defined as follows:

 - if it is within the range 0x0880 through 0x08FF, it is a message ID
 - otherwise it is interpreted as a UTF-16 code unit

on the basis that no Unicode characters between U+0880 and U+08FF are 
currently assigned.

As co-chair:

There was no consensus to make such a change, and it was clear
from the discussion that the text that at one time could be read as
permitting them was not intended to do so.

Your options, if you wish to pursue this:
 (1) you can appeal the decision on procedural grounds, claiming
       the co-chairs did not properly read WG consensus
 (2) you can appeal the decision on technical grounds, claiming
       that interoperability will be harmed by the failure to add this
       new feature
 (3) you can raise the issue in IETF last call, but you'd have to
      be able to convince the IETF at large that the working group
      got it wrong.

I think pursuing this issue would be unproductive.

As co-chair:

Not here now.  It's not currently in this WG charter, and I know of no other
IETF working group that would be even remotely interested in it.
Discussion whether it makes sense to request a charter update to
include it *is* in order at this time, though  the posts so far give little
sense of urgency or enthusiasm.

That's what 4646bis does, so I don't see how there's any issue.

I agree that ietf-languages and user-requested variants should be 
retained, but worrying about registering subtags to remove a perception 
of political bias is tantamount to confessing that our existing subtags 
are inherently filled with political bias.

People need to understand that language tags and subtags are not about 
making political statements; they're about identifying content by 
language and language variety.  We need to continue to drive that point 
home.  And ietf-languages needs to continue to be vigilant in not 
accepting subtag applications or arguments that are primarily motivated 
by politics.  There was too much of that already in the discussions 
about Belarusian variants.

John had proposed doing away with this as unnecessary in an 4646ter era 
that included ISO 639-6.

Not necessarily intentionally filled with political bias=2C but when you ha=

But you did agree that if there were two varieties of Belarussian writing o=

True, but then the irregular tags aren't going away either: nonetheless,
most of them can be easily deprecated.

Well, it may not contain them now, but if something is a language variant,
it ought to have a 639-6 tag, because 639-6 is deliberately unselective.

Absolutely correct.  But that does not mean the discussions needed to be 
characterized by each side accusing the other of political motives, or 
fighting over which variation was "better."

Perhaps I should rephrase: ietf-languages needs to be vigilant in not 
accepting applications for subtags that don't represent legitimate 
differences, or arguments that imply that one variation is superior to 
another, due to such applications or arguments being primarily motivated 
by politics.

Hi -

As co-chair...

I don't see much progress in this discussion.  I suggest that those
wishing to see work in ltru on the use of ISO 639-6 as a source of
subtags should submit a specific charter update proposal to this
mailing list for discussion.  Please refrain from further comment
on this topic until someone provides a specific (i.e. containing dates
and delivarables) charter update proposal.

Due to off-line mail I received in relation to some of my comments in this =

The opinions I have expressed are my own and not those of my employer or an=

Hoi,
I found the reply that Peter made in his reply on the thread "Re: [Ltru] ISO
639-6 (was: Geocoordinates)" problematic. In it he said: "But I can tell you
up front that I will most likely push back on a revision to make use of the
reserved alpha-4 subtags not only because it's inconvenient for my
derivative application but also because I remain very skeptical that there
will be benefits (let alone ROI, considering the costs).". I find this
problematic because it puts commercial interests clearly ahead of a
structured approach that comes with the ISO-639-6.

Now that Peter states that he is expressing his own opinions and not the
opinion of Microsoft, I find the statement quoted above unacceptable. It is
unacceptable because he is spouting FUD on a standard that intends to
reconcile the different standards in one body, a standard that intends to
finally give a place to the different orthographies. When Peter speaks for
Microsoft about ROI and costs, I find it problematic because I wonder how he
reconciles this with being a member of the community, when Peter "only"
expresses his own opinion it becomes unacceptable to me because he clearly
presents himself as a Microsoft employee. ROI and costs are business
related  considerations and making these "personal opinion" is disingenuous
probably dishonest and in my opinion unacceptable.

There are clear benefits to a standard that reconciles the current mess of
ISO-639 standards that are problematic to reconcile and have made the
current RFC process a waiting game. At this time there is no software that
provides the "most basic" language support. The most basic language support
is recognising that people want to write in their own language and enabling
them to do so. Enabling this is nothing more then setting the appropriate
meta data and allowing people to express themselves. The best argument
against providing a "most basic" language support has been the standards do
not support this and with "personal opinions" expressed in this way it is
less likely when we will see the day that people can express themselves in
their language.
Thanks,
        Gerard
