Re: [Ltru] 2.2.6: requirements on extensions

["Phillips, Addison" <addison at amazon.com>]

This appears to be redundant, since we have this bullet item nearby that more-directly accomplishes the same thing. The only other addition that seems to be implied here is the one about case, so I added on to the end of the bullet so that it reads thusly:

        <t>Each extension subtag MUST be from two to eight characters long
        and consist solely of letters or digits, with each subtag separated by
        a single '-'. Case distinctions are ignored in extensions
        (as with any language subtag) and normalized subtags of this type
        are expected to be in lowercase.</t>

I merged the current item 3 with its preceding paragraph.

Internationalization is not a feature.
It is an architecture.
