RFC 2482, Language Tagging in Unicode Plain Text, described amechanism for using special Unicode language tag characters toidentify languages when needed without more general markup such asthat provided by XML. The Unicode Consortium has deprecated thatfacility and strongly recommends against its use. RFC 2482 should bemoved to Historic to reduce the possibility that Internet implementerswould consider that system an appropriate mechanism for identifyinglanguages.
