<addison> w3c/csswg-drafts#5079

<gb> Issue 5079 [css-values] attr()'s url type seems wrong (by annevk) [Needs Edits] [i18n-tracker] [Needs Testcase (WPT)] [css-values-5]

addison: Anne van Kesteren raised it. Seems to be fixed.
… r12a, any comments?

r12a: Seems to be a specific piece of syntax.
… Different way of doing the same thing. The straightfoward ways works fine.

AOB?

r12a: Syloti Nagri is a script used in areas that use Bangali, Bangladesh.
… I released typography notes and pickers yesterday.

eemeli: I made some code for Firefox that is similar. FLipping between Latin and Bengali to see if the code worked.

r12a: Lang code is sylo

<r12a> https://r12a.github.io/scripts/links.html?iso=Sylo

eemeli: Struggling with region codes for outer space. We don't have any...

r12a: A code for the moon?

eemeli: Wanted something for locale codes. Is English spoken on the moon the same everywhere?
… Hard enough to make it work in our solar system to not go beyond that.
… I don't have a solution, but I think we ought to start thinking about it.

addison: Multiple extlangs are reserved. Might start with that.

r12a: You can have 7-letter abbreviations for planets and add region tags.

eemeli: Or use a character that is not currently valid in a tag, or double the dash.
… And the intellectual problem of where to go to standardize these.
