In the LANG examples, I noticed an oddity:

      < A LANG command with no arguments is a request for
      a language listing. >

      C: LANG
      S: +OK Language listing follows:
      S: en English
      S: en-boont English Boontling dialect
      S: de German
      S: it Italian
      S: i-default Default language
      S: .

I would have expected 3rd and 4th response lines to be:

      S: de Deutsch
      S: it italiano

This raises the issue of what language should the "human readable
description of that language" be in.

I could imagine:

1 - the server's preferred language
2 - the language itself
3 - i-default
4 - the current language

Since the "human" most likely to read the "description" is the user trying
to find a language s/he understands, I vote for #2.

Also #4 might be combinatorily difficult.  ;-)
