Dear Addison,
I do not understand the meaning of the sentence in the introduction: 
" Given a set of language identifiers, such as those defined in 
[ID.ietf-ltru-registry], various mechanisms can be envisioned for 
performing language negotiation and tag matching.".

Either a language tags uses subtags registered in the IANA registry 
(except "x-") and obey to the ABNF (and the "such" seems a 
contradiction) or I do not see how you can envision mechanisms on a 
language identification system you do not know?

Or may be could you give an example of what could be another set of 
identifier which would not be defined in your Draft and could use the 
mecahisms you describe?

I have other remarks, but your response to this one may obviously change them.
