The LC grammar includes a LANGTAG production
[144s] LANGTAG ::= '@' [a-zA-Z]+ ('-' [a-zA-Z0-9]+)*
which doesn't match the one in BCP 47
obs-language-tag = primary-subtag *( "-" subtag )
primary-subtag = 1*8ALPHA
subtag = 1*8(ALPHA / DIGIT)
(Basically, Turtle is too liberal in what it permits in a LANGTAG.)
The proposal from I18N was to reference
http://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47#section-2.1
which could mean one of:
1 remove the production rule and include instead (coursly) href the bcp47 defn.
2 preserve our production and href the bcp47 rule informatively
3 preserve our production and href the bcp47 rule normatively
4 align our production and href the bcp47 rule normatively
I've mocked up #4 in the editor's draft (my pref). See the last
sentence of
http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/wiki/I18n-Comments#189:_.5BS.5D_reference_obs-language-tag_instead_of_defining_your_own
for all the links.
