Authoring Support for Language Variants (cont’d)
Recommended solution: do not add authoring support for language variants to the spec.
- But remain open to proposals developed by the working group for how to accomplish this capability.
Pro: keeps spec. simple (KISS)
- avoids complexity of interactions between variants and versions
- avoids complexity of discovering server’s namespace conventions for relating language variants
- avoids providing capability for client to map variants to the resource on which negotiation takes place
