[loc-en-dev] Recommendation for language tags in old Locale

Hi,

I browsed http://sites.google.com/site/openjdklocale/ and this mailing
list, maybe I overlooked it. Are there recommendations for how to stuff
a language tag into the old Locale using 3 fields Language/Country/Variant?

e.g., I could imagine that a script belongs more to a language than
a country, thus sr-Latn-RS could be transported as 'sr_Latn' in
Language, and 'RS' in Country as usual. What about dialects? Should they
go into Variant?

Thanks
  Eike
