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
