So, do you propose that we withdraw the specification of the initial registry contents, all 963 tags and subtags, and replace it with a set of instructions to IAN on how they can duplicate our work? And cross our fingers that they get it right, or prepare to go through item-languages for any correctible errors or omissions they may introduce, and live with the uncorrectable errors? Just wondering. -- Doug Ewell Fullerton, California http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/ _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
