Neither am I, but some standards seemingly don't give much of a hoot
about what other standards say.
On language codes the HTML 4.01 spec says:
6.8 Language codes
The value of attributes whose type is a language code (
%LanguageCode in the DTD) refers to a language code as specified by
[RFC1766], section 2. [...]
Language codes are case-insensitive.
Then RFC1766 says:
The following registrations are predefined:
In the primary language tag:
- All 2-letter tags are interpreted according to ISO standard
639, "Code for the representation of names of languages" [ISO
639].
And ISO 639 then says:
Technical contents of ISO 639:1988 (E/F)
Code for the representation of names of languages
Two-letter lower-case symbols are used
I guess it all depends on which piper's tune you care to dance.
