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.
