Abstract

This document describes a language tag for use in cases where it is desired to indicate the language used in an information object.

It also defines a Content-language: header, for use in the case where one desires to indicate the language of something that has RFC-822^std11(-> 2822^prop)- like headers, like MIME body parts or Web documents, and a new parameter to the Multipart/Alternative type, to aid in the usage of the Content-Language: header.
