Quite so.  What I meant was that nobody can as yet use RFC 3066bis tags
while being conformant to a standard such as XML 1.0, which specifies
RFC 3066 and will soon specify BCP 47.

"The exception proves the rule."  Dimbulbs think: "Your counterexample proves
my theory."  Latin students think "'Probat' means 'tests': the exception puts
the rule to the proof."  But legal historians know it means "Evidence for an
exception is evidence of the existence of a rule in cases not excepted from."
