Just a few editorial nits:

Section 3.4, bullet point 17:  s/did so/became so/; becoming is not a
species of doing (in technical language "become" is an unaccusative verb).

3.5, paragraph beginning "Requests to add a 'Prefix' field to a variant
subtag", add to end:

        Variant subtags based on the terminology of the language to
        which they apply are encouraged.

Or put this somewhere else.

4.1 bullet point 2: s/this field by defines/this field defines/.

4.1 bullet point 6:

        If a variant lists another variant in one of its 'Prefix' fields,
        it SHOULD appear directly after that variant in any language
        tag where both occur.

is confusing; rewrite as:

        If a variant lists a second variant in one of its 'Prefix' fields,
        the first variant SHOULD appear directly after the second variant
        in any language tag where both occur.

4.1.1: s/Each Macrolanguage/Each macrolanguage/.

5: s/steps to reasonably ascertain/reasonable steps to ascertain/.
