In the interest of achieving consensus, I won't argue further about the exact wording of this section. I do insist that private-use tags and subtags in "x-" not be removed from the grammar, or proscribed entirely. It MUST be legal for consenting adults to generate and interpret "x-this" and "en-x-that" in the privacy of their homes.
I think confusion exists here. No one has ever considered that x-tags were to be associated to adult extentions of a language. To the countrary one of the applications of the x-tags in the "en" context you quote is precisely to be able to use tags of the form of "en-x-kids" that could be made mandatory for partental protection on "kid.us" namespace for example.
If there is a confusion by a common US reader here, I recommand that some examples are provided for further user guidance.
