KT> I am ok with Mahesh's proposal. The original issue that I raised was
the use of both "for example" and BCP14 words. Then both were removed. It
is OK to use the BCP14 keywords as long as "for example" is not used. Also,
this statement does not preclude the use of other types of SIDs so there is
no issue.

Thanks,
Ketan
