Subject: [stdsreg] Metadata Specification v2.9 - Language



In looking at the recently posted specification, I notice an error in the Comment on Language.

The Comment states:
"For example, "en" for English, "fr" French or "en-uk" for English used in the United Kingdom."

In fact, if you check the reference given for country codes, you will see that the code for the United Kingdom is "gb".

[I assume they don't expect to be united indefinitely, and will eventually revert to Great Britain ;)]

Perhaps it would be safer to choose "au" or "us".

Regards,
