Whatever spec defines the mapping is the spec that should say how the mapping
is to work. It's not up to the HTML spec to define every mapping. For
technologies that use BCP47, there's no mapping necessary; HTML requires that
the values be passed through unmodified.
*For HTML's purposes*, invalid language tags are to be treated as unknown
languages. For all other purposes, the language is passed through unmodified. I
don't understand the difficulty here.

I do not understand this paragraph.

CSS is no different than OpenType or any other technology. If we say that you
have to do validation for one, it follows that validation would apply to the
other.
