Re: Last Call: 'Tags for Identifying Languages' to BCP

I would like to understand why 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ltru-registry-12.txt 
claims to be a BCP: it introduces a standard track proposition, 
conflicting with current practices and development projects under way?

I support it as a transition standard track RFC needed by some, as 
long as it does not exclude more specific/advanced language 
identification formats, processes or future IANA or ISO 11179 
conformant registries. In order to avoid conflicts, its ABNF should 
be completed in dedicating a singleton to the general tag 
URI 
(http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-kindberg-tag-uri-07.txt 
accepted RFC).
