Deprecating Unicode Language Tag Characters: RFC 2482 is Historic
RFC 6082, “Deprecating Unicode Language Tag Characters: RFC 2482 is Historic”, is an Informational document published in November 2010 by K. Whistler, G. Adams, M. Duerst, R. Presuhn, J. Klensin. It obsoletes RFC 2482. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
RFC 2482, "Language Tagging in Unicode Plain Text", describes a mechanism for using special Unicode language tag characters to identify languages when needed without more general markup such as that provided by XML. The Unicode Consortium has deprecated that facility and strongly recommends against its use. RFC 2482 has been moved to Historic status to reduce the possibility that Internet implementers would consider that system an appropriate mechanism for identifying languages. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
