How about:

--
1. Variant subtags, as a collection, are not associated with any 
particular external standard. The meaning of variant subtags in the 
registry is defined in the course of the registration process defined in 
Section 3.5. Note that any particular variant subtag might be associated 
with some external standard. However, association with a standard is not 
required for registration.
