RFC 3066 section 2.2 states, in part: - All 2-letter subtags are interpreted according to assignments found in ISO standard 639, "Code for the representation of names of languages" [ISO 639], or assignments subsequently made by the ISO 639 part 1 maintenance agency or governing standardization bodies. and has a similar statement regarding ISO 3166. "interpreted according to assignments found in" certainly sounds as if the ISO lists are considered definitive for their respective categories of subtags, since their interpretation is specified as that given in those lists. I don't see how the RFC 3066 text can be interpreted otherwise. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
