Dear colleagues,
Although this out of the scope of present ISO 639-1 and ISO 639-2
scopes, we sooner or later have to deal with all kinds of language
variation, such as:
- dialects
- register
- other specialities (incl. simplified xyz language)
- sign languages (corresponding to natural languages)
- etc.
I keep insisting that we need a strategy with consistent rules for all
of these variations - and more to crop up in the development from
eContent to mContent, where the big issue becomes semantic
interoperability. I am confident that in the course of the discussions
concerning further parts of ISO 639 we will have this discussion and
find practical solutions to the respective issues. Did we not foresee a
meeting of the JAC by the end of this year to discuss such strategic
matters?
Best regards
Christian

This is certainly out of scope for the ISO 639 list. It seems to
possibly be out of scope for RFC 3066 tagging, or is that the way to
handle it?
