Dear all, I am forwarding to you all a question from Jane Hunter <[log in to unmask]>, who wants to know the correct way to use the XML Language identifier for the MPEG-7 context. Can any of you answer her question? Please send any replies both to Jane Hunter and to the list as a whole, as I am sure others will be interested as well. Cheers, Tom >The MPEG-7 people want to be able to describe the language of the MPEG-7 >description using: > - Language Code - code from ISO 639, RFC 1766 > - Country Code - code from ISO 3166 > - Character Set - IANA identifier > >Ideally this would be covered using the XML Language identifier: >http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#sec-lang-tag > >But when I read through the XML spec it appears that you can have either the >2-letter language code or the IANA character set code - not both.
