Ah, I get it. They are substituting for italic on first usage since we are limited in RFCs to plaintext*. In that case, the whole name (the part that you would italicize) would be in quotes, eg.

... the 'default canonical form' is ...

Okay. Note that I (continue to) use the single quotes the first time to introduce the names. I have eliminated the other uses of the quotes.

 

I also note that my copy of the text read:

 

--

A language tag is in a canonical form, either default or extended,

--

 

… but should read:

 

--

A language tag is in a canonical form, either default or extlang,

I don't think we want to have single quotes in the

'default' canonical form
'extlang' canonical form

These are names of forms, not subtags. Should be:

default canonical form
extlang canonical form

There are two canonical forms for language tags: the 'default'
