I'd suggest to register i-lojban or i-lb or something. Someone only has to send a message formatted like: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LANGUAGE TAG REGISTRATION FORM Name of requester : E-mail address of requester: Tag to be registered : English name of language : Native name of language (transcribed into ASCII): Reference to published description of the language (book or article): ---------------------------------------------------------------------- to . More info on RFC 1766. Of course there is no problem with x-lojban either; it isn't standard (as w3c says, "experimental codes without guarantee for uniqueness") but who would use x-lojban for anything else?
