My proposal for a reworded section 5.4 is:
5.4. Unusual language indications
It is possible to specify an unusual indication where the language
specified may look unexpected for the media type.
For such cases the following guidance SHALL be applied for the
humintlang attributes used in these situations.
1. A view of a speaking person in the video stream SHALL, when it
has relevance for speech perception, be indicated by a Language-Tag
for spoken/written language with the "Zxxx" script subtag to indicate
that the contents is not written.
2. Text captions included in the video stream SHALL be indicated
by a Language-Tag for spoken/written language.
3. Any approximate representation of sign language or
fingerspelling in the text media stream SHALL be indicated by a
Language-Tag for a sign language in text media.
4. When sign language related audio from a person using sign
language is of importance for language communication, this SHALL be
indicated by a Language-Tag for a sign language in audio media.
[RG] As I said, I think we should avoid specifying this until we have
deployment experience.

From a process perspective, it's far easier to remove constraints
as a specification advances than it is to add them.
