The whole point of publishing a draft list was for expert correction,

I'm not sure what this means.  We do know how to do scopes and types;
the issue is whether we want to.

It's not in yet and it won't be.

We stabilized the syntax of language tags.  We stabilized the record-jar
syntax.  We stabilized certain fields (and not others).  We did not
stabilize the set of fields as a whole.
