ISDCF Doc 7 changed in three steps. Version A (2017) was a 3-page code table. Version B (captured 2018-2021) added languages, region subtags and a revision history. Version C (footer 2021-12-08) drops the table, adds a case-sensitivity section and defers to the ISDCF language register, citing a 2020-12-08 revision. On 2026-10-22 the original PDF URL returns 404, so the register is the only live source. Curator qualifications: Pages, PDFs and code read 2026-10-22; no DCP named or validated; ClairMeta not run. Version A text and the CDX digest/timing analysis (no 2020-12..2021-12 capture with the defer text) carried from producer reading. Limitations: Pages, PDFs and code read 2026-10-22; no DCP named or validated; ClairMeta not run. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
