<language>



I have questions about what the new specification really wants for <language>. Quoting from the spec posted to this mailing list:

<language>

Because iTunes operates sites worldwide, it is critical to specify the language of a podcast. Accepted values are those in the ISO 639-1 Alpha-2 list (two-letter language codes).



And the link lists the "2 Letter" codes and 3 letter codes, I know we shouldn't be using. However, the example and the RSS 2.0 specification, http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/stories/storyReader $15 show codes that are basically 2 letters with possible modifiers. The XML specification talks about the same, http://www.w3.org/TR/REC- html40/struct/dirlang.html#langcodes .



It seems logical that us-en is okay, but it would be nice to have that clarified in the spec.
