Hello Sven,
The syntax rules say:
language-tag = primary-tag *( "-" subtag )
primary-tag = 1*8ALPHA
subtag = 1*8ALPHA
Please note the '*' in the first rule, meaning repetition
(from zero times up). So for example
x-subtag1-subtag2-subtag3-subtag4-subtag5-subtag6-subtag7 ...
would be a perfectly legal language tag.
Editors, please note that on the next occasion, RFC 1766 should
be updated to RFC 3066.
Regards, Martin.
