Prior reading: gemini://gemini.marmaladefoo.com/blog/7-Sep-2020_Parsing_preformatted_alt_t ext.gmi I haven?t made up my mind on, well, most things in this proposal. I?m still chewing on them, and I may never have an opinion on them, much less a well-thought-out opinion. That said, I think that if we?re writing language codes in text, we ought to allow for full IETF language tags instead of just two-letter codes, although roughly nobody?ll bother writing any more than ?lang:en-GB?. I might do `lang:en-Shaw` once or twice, but that?s about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IETF_language_tag That way, if people want to express more than just a language, there?s a well-trodden path for them to do so. Likewise, if, say, a screen reader wants to pick the right accent for a particular bit of text, it can. Nathan
