    Hi,

    The PWG should probably use these in any *new* URI or Natural Language
    Tag string properties in PWG MIBs (see note below).

    RFC 5017 defines "Uri" (unbounded US-ASCII string) and "Uri255" and
    "Uri1024" (with max lengths) - looks quite good to me.

    RFC5131 obsoletes the RFC 2932 "LanguageTag" and defines "LangTag"
    (US-ASCII string of 0 or 2..63 octets), and was clearly influenced by PWG
    Job Mon MIB (the first IETF standards-track language tag TC).

    RFC4646 (current) and the RFC4646bis (mid-2008) actual language tags
    fit comfortably in 63 octets.

    Note - changing our existing PWG Counter MIB or Port Mon MIB would be a
    breaking change, because they used UTF-8 SnmpAdminString (for future
    support of native Unicode IRIs).

    Jerry Thrasher - perhaps a brief Steering Committee topic in January?

    Cheers,
    - Ira

    Dear all,

    For information, the Uri and LangTag MIB textual conventions have been
    published. Thanks again to all who helped and commented.

    http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5017.txt (Uri, Uri255, Uri1024)
    http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5131.txt (LangTag)

    (The old 'LanguageTag' TC from RFC 2932 is marked as obsolete by
    publication of RFC 5132).

    Regards,
    David McWalter.
