Updated Registry posted

IANA has posted a revised copy of the Language Subtag Registry, 
containing the new script subtags based on additions to ISO 15924, plus 
an apostrophe change to Ethiopic and a correction to grandfathered tag 
'Amis (now Amis with no apostrophe).

http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry

For some reason, even though the new subtags were submitted to IANA with 
File-Date and Added records of 2006-06-28, IANA has decided to change 
the File-Date of the Registry to 2006-07-31, while assigning Added dates 
of 2006-07-21 to the new subtags.  Thus the dates used by IANA match 
neither the dates on the registration requests nor each other.  The 
File-Date is not required to match the Added date of any individual 
record -- an updated Registry might incorporate only changes to existing 
records, which would keep their existing Added date -- but I cannot 
think of any reason why IANA would have made these changes.

If their File-Date reflects the last date they intentionally
changed something it's okay for observers.  It should never
jump backwards in time, and always change if anything was
changed. 

For the added dates I guess that they picked the date of the
submission as noted by their ticket system.  Would that
match what you did ?

Bye, Frank

I take this back.  Although I sent registration forms to the LIST dated 
2006-06-28, Michael did change the dates to 2006-07-21 before submitting 
them to IANA.  So they did the right thing after all.

I'm still not sure why the File-Date record was changed to something 
other than what was on the forms, but that is minor in comparison.

As long as the File-Date record is always equal to or later than the newest Added field, things are cool. The
description of the File-Date record is pretty explicit:

"The field-body of this record contains the last modification date of this copy of the registry, making it
possible to compare different versions of the registry."

That would suggest putting the actual modification date there.

Another updated Registry posted

The current Language Subtag Registry is now dated 2006-08-04, and 
includes the two new Description fields for language subtag 'dv' which 
were left off the 2006-07-31 release.

RE: Outstanding registration requests

As author of this request, I propose to cancel it. After I was informed
better about the subtag usage and the current status of Cut Spelling, it
seems no more relevant. Cut Spelling is being phased out and superseded
by House Style. It is not expected to be used much any more.

Cheers, Joze

I also believe a decision should be made on the following request, which

was made in its present form 4 weeks ago:

Coding of Chinese Simplified and Traditional

Hi

Can someone confirm the (current) correct tagging for the following:

 Mandarin Chinese Simplified Script
 Mandarin Chinese Traditional Script

Thanks in anticipation

   zh-cmn-Hans
   zh-cmn-Hant

Both of these are grandfathered tags. It is anticipated that these will 
become redundant registrations in a putative RFC 3066ter era (once ISO 
639-3 is incorporated), but that depends on future developments.
