I have seen a few topics on the XXX language code used on the Custom Fields COMM frames.
Whilst I understand the reasoning behind using XXX, would it be possible to use lower case letters xxx instead, as uppercase letters are not compliant?

Hi,
they should not be case sensitive. From my tests MM recognize both.

Re: Language code XXX not xxx in Custom Comments Frames
Understood, and you are correct, but the id3v2.3/4 standard specifies that language codes should be represented ISO-639-2 three character language codes (id3_dot_org/d3v2.3.0 see the third last paragraph of point 3.3), which in turn recommends language codes to be lowercase, though they should be considered case-insensitive (www.loc_dot_gov/standards/iso639-2/faq.html#21), so technically uppercase should be OK but practically it would be more compatible with other software if it was lowercase, just like the ISO-639-2 list itself.
in fact, using und (undetermined) might actually be the most correct approach as XXX is not a valid language code?
That's just my two cents worth, I understand that changing it is complex and brings with it a host of challenges...
