Here's what I have in my working copy:

   <t>The t extension is not intended for use in structured data that
already provides for source and target language identifiers.

For example, this is the case in localization interchange formats such as
XLIFF.

In such cases, it would be inappropriate to use "ja-t-it" for the target
language tag because the source language tag

"it" would already be present in the data. Instead one would use the
language tag "ja".

</t>
