We find:This is not perfect yet in -02 which says: grandfathered = langtag ; well-formed grandfathered tags / irregular ; grandfathered that don't match langtag The "well-formed" should be replaced by "regular".
Except that "regular" doesn't really convey any information here. Yes, it is an antonym for 'irregular', but that doesn't really add information. I think we should just omit "well-formed".
Also, 2.2.8. "Grandfathered Registrations" says: Those tags that would not be well-formed according to the ABNF in this document or that contain subtags that do not individually appear in the registry are maintained in the registry in records of the "grandfathered" type.
I think we'd be better off not formally defining 'regular' vs. 'irregular'. This can be done as follow:
--Those tags that do not match the 'langtag' production in the ABNF in this document or that contain subtags that do not individually appear in the registry are maintained in the registry in records of the "grandfathered" type.
