Austlang codes need to be put into the schema

[nthieberger]

At the moment validation fails if a language code is given as <term xml:lang="W40">, it needs to use ISO-639-3 <term xml:lang="nrk">

Can a code specify that it is using Austlang and then be valid?

[Conal-Tuohy]

It is possible to use Austlang code and still comply with the relevant standard for xml:lang (BCP47)

Section 2.2.7 specifies how to use "private" (extension) codes. We need to decide on a convention for using Austlang codes.

At its simplest, a "private" code is one which starts with x-, so the simplest way for us to use Austlang would be:

<term xml:lang="x-W40">foo</term>

Is that enough? We won't have other private codes, will we @nthieberger ? (i.e. apart from Austlang) If we did want to be able to use other private language codes, we'd need to include an Austlang-specific segment into that code as well, e.g.

<term xml:lang="x-austlang-W40">foo</term>

[nthieberger]

I think this is best: <term xml:lang="x-austlang-W40">foo</term> It is more explicit and can be converted later if austlang becomes a namespace
