Hi Noah,
Sorry, that slipped through the cracks.
lang doesn't make any sense in this context; in HTML it applies to the
link text, but there is none here.
Regarding hreflang - looking through the history, it's been discussed
in a fairly positive light a few times, but never made it in. I think
it does make some sense, since it's both in Atom and HTML. I'm a bit
concerned about what the appropriate reference is for the value space;
ATM I'm thinking BCP47 directly, rather than to a specific RFC, to
allow it to evolve*.
Anyone see an issue with adding hreflang with a value space of BCP47?
Cheers,
* Often, a reference to an RFC is preferable, so that software can be
reliably written to a specific set of identifiers. My initial feeling
is that here that's not appropriate to do that, because language tags
are labels, not something that you're going to hardcode into
infrastructure software. Feedback appreciated, especially from the
i18n community.

I'm not sure how this process works, so please just say so if I'm
getting the
wrong end of the stick. I've sent a number of emails to the list
about adding
two language related link parameters.
My original email was:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2009AprJun/0196.html
My next email was:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2009JulSep/0100.html
And I added some clarification here:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2009JulSep/0112.html
I'm worried that your most recent email means that my suggestions
wont make it
into the specification. If that's the case, I was hoping for some
comentary so
that I understand why that isn't going to be possible.
Thanks,
