   Of course not. But as a one-liner, it helps drive home the point
that, if an application breaks when we introduce a 5-letter subtag, the
blame is with the application.

   In fact, I was afraid that my comment might lead some to say "See, we
can't do 5-letter subtags, there are jobs at stake". You and Shawn have
shown that it's not bad as that...
