[Ltru] Re: Archival of registration forms

[Addison Phillips]

RFC 4646 was written to mirror RFC 3066 (and before), with separate 
storage of the forms. The forms could be aggregated into a single file, 
etc. I don't know why IANA isn't archiving the forms currently.

I too find it questionable when the final registered format is not sent 
to the list prior to forwarding (or at least as part of forwarding) to 
IANA. In fact, I suspect that, given the stability guarantees and rules 
in RFC 4646, such registrations can be appealed if they differ from the 
requested record.
