That the WG claiming that IRI is just a modern name for URI, or do I
confuse this with XHTML modularization ?

It's stable in the sense that it won't match any existing tag, and
it will continue to not match any existing tag.    It will only miss 
some non-existing tags, where a 4646bis implementation can be
smarter based on a simplified ABNF.

BTW, the discussion of the "most perverse tag" isn't affected 
by keeping or trimming the obsolete ABNF, zero extlang-s is
zero extlang-s no matter what the ABNF says.
