[edit] Change references to RFC 3066 to BCP 47

Hello, in the line:

 "See note in RFC 3066 section 2.3 Choice of language tag:" 

the reference here to RFC 3066 should probably be changed to reference BCP 47

• http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/bcp/bcp47.txt
• http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/bcp/bcp47.txt )

BCP 47 Obsoletes RFC 3066.

The quote is not in the current BCP 47 (= RFC 4646 + RFC 4647), so we have to quote RFC 3066. (But the quote is from ISO, and quoting it via an RFC looks a bit strange - it would be best if we could find the original ISO document and quote it directly.) --Zundark 21:51, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

On closer inspection, I see that RFC 4646 does have a similar quote from ISO, and gives its source. So I've changed the article to refer directly to this source (ISO 639 Joint Advisory Committee: Working principles for ISO 639 maintenance, on the ISO 639-2/RA website). --Zundark 09:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
