I know what the intent is. But I cannot find the words for this.
<OT>
I remember having considered (back in the days of RFC 1766) that one could
use something like "ca-valencia", without absolute need to register
it --since it is impossible; and the very nature of the RFC 1766 scheme,
with its 8 levels, appeared to me a real invitation to do things this way.
It appears at second read that things are a bit harder in this area with RFC
3066, but the words are not clear enough to dispell any use of similar
schemes; particularly since there are no other ways to do so.
</OT>
Anyway, this is of no importance: this is not topical here, RFC 3066 will be
promptly obsoleted anyway, and the "Philips" draft does allow a way to do it
"cleanly" with the embeeded "-x-".
Sorry everybody for the noise.
Antoine
