Jefsey,

First, let's agree that you've asked this question [1], made this suggestion
[2], and engaged in discussion of these topics on the LTRU working group
mailing list.  I know you haven't been happy with the way the discussion
went, but these are not new topics.  Agreed?

Why a BCP?  Production of this document is a direct requirement of the group
charter:

"This working group will address these issues by developing two documents.
The first is a successor to RFC 3066."

3066 is BCP 47.  The introduction and list of changes included in the
document describe why and how it is obsoleting 3066.

The ABNF suggestion has been discussed, partially accepted, and partially
rejected by the working group.  If you have new information to describe why
you think the working group decision was a mistake, please describe it.
