and with lang = 'it-IT' there's also gemini.iosa.it, managed by steko,
probably the first Italian capsule :)
Yes, a case of over-specification: unless the italian used on this
capsule is really specific to Italy, there is no need to over-tag. To
quote RFC 5646:
1. Use as precise a tag as possible, but no more specific than is
justified. Avoid using subtags that are not important for
distinguishing content in an application.
* For example, 'de' might suffice for tagging an email written
in German, while "de-CH-1996" is probably unnecessarily
precise for such a task.

gemini://gemini.bortzmeyer.org/rfc-mirror/rfc5646.txt RFC 5646 on language tags

That's actually a good point, and thanks for the RFC reference! I admitI've never read it, but happy to have guessed right :)

Anyway, I assume most people picked up it-IT without knowing about RFC5646 and as a translation of the (I think) more common en-US (and maybealso due to how the $LANG variable is usually set up on the unices).Maybe it's worth to drop a line or two in the best practice about this?

Cheers,
