Re: Location list proposal [was: why must Debian call Taiwan a "Province of China"?]
As pointed out clearly in the "common xml locale
repository" paper[1] from ICU, Page 3:
"Language and Territory codes follow ISO-639 and
ISO-3166 respectively".
See also the RFC 3066 - Tags for the Identification of
Languages:
2.2 Language tag sources
- All 2-letter subtags are interpreted as ISO 3166
alpha-2 country codes from [ISO 3166].
Look, the standard is *international* and should be
followed.
btw: to people from China Taiwan who start the
needless flame war here: check the source of locale
data from ICU[2], why won't you go against IBM, but
against Debian here? Just because you saw it and don't
like it?
