In the current draft, Section 4.5 lists requirements for canonical form. In those requirements, point 2 states the need to map Region subtags to their preferred value, and point 3 states the need to map Grandfathered and Redundant tags to their preferred value. Then, point 4 states the following: ------------ Other subtags that have a Preferred-Value mapping in the IANA registry (see Section 3.1 (Format of the IANA Language Subtag Registry)) MUST be replaced with their mapped value. These items consist entirely of clerical corrections to ISO 639-1 in which the deprecated subtags have been maintained for compatibility purposes. ------------ "Other subtags" here would include any language, extlang, script or variant subtags. Section 3.1.2 indicates that any of these types of subtags potentially can have Preferred-Value mappings. Yet the text I've quoted states that the set of all these cases is limited to clerical corrections in 639-1 (the Javanese and Hebrew cases). That's definitely not the case (e.g. every extlang must have a Preferred-Value field.) Something's not right. (I tried to check if something has changed here since previous drafts, but the Inter-Locale site appears to be down.)
