I note that it is useful to look at the actual editor's copy when 
suggesting minor editorial changes. Upon reflection, I found the current 
sentence to be a bit of a run-on. I've taken your suggestion of 
'unlikely' and edited further such that the paragraph now reads:

<t>Validity of a tag is not everything. A tag can be valid yet 
meaningless. This is unavoidable with a generative system like the 
language subtag mechanism. For example, a tag such as "ar-Cyrl-CO" 
(Arabic, Cyrillic script, as used in Colombia) is perfectly valid. 
However, it is unlikely to be a useful tag, as it represents an unlikely 
combination of language attributes that is probably unrelated to any 
real language usage.</t>

After five minutes from now, you will need to comment on draft-08. I'm 
always happy to consider editorial changes that improve the text.
