Subject: RE: [ubl] Issue: two-letter or three-letter language codes?
No reason I can think of to use one over the other. The xml:lang definition references RFC 4646, which does not promote using one over the other, but does state that the separation of the language code from the country code must use a dash. Please note that most language codes are represented in lower case, although technically they are not case sensitive. So, "requiring" the use of two characters (upper or lower) is wrong.

Hello UBL TC and developers, A question has arisen with regard to language codes. It appears that UN/CEFACT uses the ISO three-letter lowercase language codes, whereas UBL currently includes a list of ISO two-letter uppercase language codes (both are ISO standards as far as we know). We're not going to be inclined to change something in 2.1 that already shipped in 2.0, so the question is: does anyone know of a good reason why UBL should switch to the three-letter lowercase form? We need to have this issue resolved by next week, so if anyone has an opinion, please let us know ASAP.
