All,

Just back from 12 days in Russia, without (realistic) Internet connectivity.

Mike,

1. The issues list on my website is not up to date.

2. The text in the document already says (I think) what you want it to say. Please refer to draft-05 for the best version of said text. To follow your analogy, as with Unicode, you are required to accept well-formed language tags that use private use subtags, but you are not required to understand them or generate them, and you are allowed to ignore them altogether for the purposes of matching (other processing is not described, but presumably follows the "allowed to ignore").

3. Presumably the "last call" will close shortly and the IESG will make some sort of decision about the document. Since there has been a lot of feedback and changes during this last call, it is possible that there will follow another last call to ensure that adequate stability has been reached.
