John C Klensin scripsit:
In RFC 3066, it is only a heuristic (or examination of the
IANA registry, which is not machine-parseable) that tells the
meaning of the second subtag the existing registered tag
sr-Latn. In the draft, its meaning is unambiguously specified
a priori.
So?
So it is meaningless to talk about "breaking backward compatibility"
when the behavior in question is a heuristic (or to quote Ned,
"it works in most but not all cases"). Registration of new tags
under RFC 3066 can and will break the heuristic all by themselves.
The new draft talks about scripts, but the existing registered tags
talk about scripts too.
