(addison summarizes)

richard: pretty general agreement for people outside the data community that adding a new extension such as -d is a Bad Idea
... for example, people would use it for other formats
... not just rdf
... and lots of problems if in email or html
... the data people in rdf and json tend to see the world in a very narrow way
... they see what they need in their spec, but not necessarily what producers or consumers need?
... started doing before call to list where the strings might come from
... e.g. existing json lists of string where no metadata
... or from data formats, searches, web annotations which might have data bout direction
... or from users, as in wpub
... people might create a manifest by writing it
... and so could put an RLM in a string
... you could input text on a form and have lang and dir
... might get direction but not accurate language
... e.g. type hebrew into an English page
... making a list might be helpful

(four scenarios, see comment 7)

richard: how would you deal with
... they are very keen on perhaps just using the BCP47 language tag to find the direction
... the big question is what if you don't have lang or have wrong lang
... if that's the way you're doing that, here's how
... might need notes about what consumer would do, what producer would do
... a little worried
