I do not understand this. Could you document that?

I assume you consider the situation where:
1. the application gets a langtag
2. consider what do to with it.
3. there are three possible solutions?
     - it knows the langtag from it being built-in.
     - it does not know it but it has a filtering/negociation strategy 
built-in or based upon non IANA parameters
     - all this fails and its filtering/negociation strategy resort to a 
IANA input before concluding?

I would say this is similar to anti-spam or to anti-virus strategies. 
Obviously codes change les frequently than spamming hosts and viruses, but 
the simple fact they change make the load similar (the load is not because 
there are a lot of changes, but because there is a check if nothing changed).

What do I suppose wrong according you?
Thanks.
