DONE. Actually said "became redundant" for clarity.

DONE. There are two paragraphs that begin that way, both of which prohibit changing the semantic meaning of a subtag. I'm not sure this applies to either. I therefore added this to the paragraph about "use with a particular range" the precedes both, which now reads:

--
<t>Variant subtags are usually registered for use with a particular range of language tags and variant subtags based on the terminology of the language to which they are apply are encouraged. For example, the subtag 'rozaj' (Resian) is
intended for use with language tags that start with the primary language subtag "sl" (Slovenian), since
Resian is a dialect of Slovenian. Thus, the subtag 'rozaj' would be appropriate in tags such as "sl-Latn-rozaj" or
"sl-IT-rozaj". This information is stored in the 'Prefix' field in the registry. Variant registration requests SHOULD include at least one 'Prefix' field in the registration form.</t>

DONE. That's a much better phrasing for something that I'd noodled around with for awhile.

Thanks: very helpful.
