Prefixes for variants are NOT required (there is a strong SHOULD and multiple suggestions that a variant without a prefix is a Bad Idea). As Mark notes, once registered without a prefix, registering *any* prefix will break any and all (non-prefix-bearing) tags. However, the stability prohibition on narrowing the meaning would seem to be in force.

However, I very much like firming the registration requirements for variants (from SHOULD to MUST on having at least one Prefix) and leaving the validation rules in place. Notice that this would effectively forbid generic variants (the reason for the SHOULD in the first place). Addison -- Addison Phillips Globalization Architect -- Yahoo! Inc.
