In the interest of reaching closure on this item, as a technical contributor I'll propose some words that I think will start to address some of Ira's concerns. 1) In section 6 (security considerations) the first paragraph would need to be modified since there would no longer be just one issue. 2) Add the following paragraph to section 6: The limited repertoire of characters permitted in language tags provides few opportunities for homograph confusion. Whether there are any at all depends upon the font in use, but, for some widely used fonts, confusion between "O" and "0", or "I", "l", and "1" need to be considered as realistic possibilities. The language tag reviewer SHOULD reject registration requests for tags or subtags that could be confused in this way with existing ones.
