I documented that. We started using ISO 3166 in 1977 unformally (what 
permitted UK) and formally in 1978. As documented on this list langtags 
cover much more than XML and even IETF matters. The system must be 
consistent with any ISO 3166 table, concerning whatever period of the past, 
present and future. The 1988 could have been used to pre-load data (and I 
agreed then to the idea), but the way the things are understood now, make 
plain that there is a confusion between an occasional file and a principle.

There is no point in the Charter opposing that. Languages are not born in 
1988.
I documented that I favor the use of a 2 bytes yearly code, covering years 
-32.000 to +32.000
