| 17:01 | <dminor> | Can we consider a normative change to get stop exposing islamic-rgsa, given it's not implementable? I'd say that islamic sounds pretty questionable without providing an API to specify the location at which the observation is being made. |
| 17:09 | <sffc> | Can we consider a normative change to get stop exposing islamic ahead of at least one other non-gregorian calendar, so maybe this is something that could be proposedhttps://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/1be37933f617c6eb312675c04244a17f3c28906b/common/supplemental/supplementalData.xml#L4867 |
| 17:12 | <sffc> | Same with `islamic-rgsa` |
| 17:12 | <sffc> | Actually also `islamic-tbla` |
| 17:13 | <dminor> | Interesting, thank you for having a look. |
| 17:14 | <sffc> | It looks like in regions that use a Hijri calendar, their preferred one is either Umm-al-qura, Civil, or Persian (solar Hijri) |
| 17:16 | <sffc> | Only possible exception is in Egypt and Israel which have "Coptic" and "Hebrew" ahead of Hijri, but have "Islamic" as their first choice Hijri |
| 17:18 | <sffc> | It's possible that if PS were listed separately from IL, it would have `islamic` as the first choice |
| 17:20 | <sffc> | So we might want to be careful here to avoid putting SA's calendar in 402 but not PS's calendar if that hypothesis is true |
| 17:23 | <dminor> | But is the islamic calendar really well defined without specifying an observation location? |
| 17:24 | <dminor> | Would PS want Cairo, for instance? |
| 17:26 | <sffc> | Cairo might not be a bad choice since it is geographically near Jerusalem, certainly closer than other reasonable choices like Mecca or Baghdad or something. But my sense is that this needs more research |
| 17:29 | <dminor> | I would agree with that assessment |
