[Ltru] Re: RFC 4646 production "grandfathered" considered harmful

Unfortunately deprecating the complete zoo won't fly, i-default is too important. And the opposite proposal "no individually registered language subtags, register i-anything for temporary workarounds" was rejected. Are you still sure that that's as it should be ?

The grammar really has nothing to do with what's deprecated and what's not. Deprecated tags and subtags are still valid, and still have to appear in the ABNF somehow. Our idea of "deprecated" isn't nearly as strong as in some other standards, such as ISO 3166 ("stop using ASAP").
