I have no idea what the problem is, unless we are back at a bunch of 
people who want these tags and subtags to do more than what they are 
supposed to do, which is to identify varieties of language.

Almost everything that comes through to this list I have been 
deleting unread for months, as it has nothing to do with my function 
here. It goes on, and on, and on, and on. And now it's getting nasty 
and personal.

Perhaps we should NOT revise the damn thing at all, and stick with 
the current RFC.
