Re: [Ltru] Minor proofreading nits again (was: Re: draft-davis-t-langtag-ext-03)

In the working copy, I changed to

     <t>Transforms such as transliterations may vary depending not only on
the

   basis of the source and target script, but also on the source and target
language.

Below that paragraph, I added:

   <t>Transforms may also vary according to different conventions, even when
transliterating between the same languages and scripts.

For example, "Gaddafi" is commonly transliterated as any of (G/Q/K/Kh)a(d/dh
/dd/dhdh/th/zz)af(i/y).

</t>
