I still say that it is not even a possible interpretation of RFC 3066
to remove the region code in these cases, no matter how the sgn-* tags
were discussed at registration time.

The "US" part in "sgn-US" is and remains a region code, and the
appropriate target code (for Preferred-Value of the to-be-deprecated
tag sgn-US) should be "asl-US". "asl-CA" (e.g.) is simply not covered
with tags in the current LSR, along with 100+ other sign languages
(plus regional variants of those sign languages) that will be taggable
using 639-3 codes.
