Hi António.

Does 1945 make sense? Was the 1971 Brazilian implementation the adoption
of the 1945 agreement? Portugal's small change in 1973 indicated that to
me, but I've seen contradictory opinions and would like to know what's
yours.

We're discussing here the variant subtag. The usage is
<language>-<country>-<region>-<variant>. That means that language,
country and region are already encoded in the other subtags. So, even
without a variant tag, pt-PT and pt-BR are already different. The
variant subtag would not change that.
