BCP 47 alias #688

Open xfq opened 2 years ago

xfq commented 2 years ago

In https://www.specref.org/?q=bcp47 I see:

[BCP47]
Alias of [rfc5646].

But I think BCP 47 contains two RFCs, RFC 5646 and RFC 4647.

/cc @r12a

Yeah true... this is an interesting case. I wonder if BCP47 should be treated as its own entry and point to https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/bcp47 ... I'm thinking that this is not an alias and maybe more things will become part of BCP47 over time.

@mnot, would you know how "bcp" things work at the IETF? Could more RFCs be added over time?

mnot commented 2 years ago

Yep, BCPs and STDs can refer to one or more RFCs, and they can change over time.

marcoscaceres commented 2 years ago

ok, then yeah... BCP should point to https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/bcp47 ... @xfq, do you want to have a go at updating the entry?

marcoscaceres commented 2 years ago

@tobie, alternatively, I wonder if the IETF bot script should be getting all the "BCP"s somehow?

Yeah. I think that makes sense. Not sure where to get them from, though.
