The IESG has approved the following document: - 'BCP 47 Extension U' <draft-davis-u-langtag-ext-04.txt> as an Informational RFC This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Alexey Melnikov. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-davis-u-langtag-ext/ Technical Summary The document specifies the 'u-' extension to BCP 47 language tags, which provides subtags that specify locale-oriented properties (such as calendar, collation, currency, time zone) according to work done by the Unicode Consortium in the context of CLDR (Common Language Data Repository) and LDML (Locale Data Markup Language). Working Group Summary This document is not the product of any IETF working group. Document Quality The document has been reviewed by various language tagging and localization experts. In the context of CLDR (Common Language Data Repository) and LDML (Locale Data Markup Language), the proposed extension will be used widely. Uses in other localization contexts are also possible, because this extension provides a very convenient way to extend IETF language tags (BCP47) with the usually small missing bits of information to designate a locale. Personnel Martin J. Duerst is the Document Shepherd. Alexey Melnikov is the Responsible Area Director. RFC Editor Note Please add RFC 2119 to the list of Normative References.
