== Valid or well-formed language tags? ==
Comments arising from self-review at either https://github.com/w3c/json-ld-wg/issues/93 or https://github.com/w3c/pub-manifest/issues/38 (not clear which).

from Matt Garrish:

> According to BCP47, a well-formed tag is only one that conforms to the ABNF. A valid one is one that also has a recognized language tag (plus some other restrictions).https://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47#section-2.2.9
> Sure we only want well-formed tags? Our schema looks more attuned to valid.

from Ivan Herman:

> HTML requires validity:
> https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/dom.html#the-lang-and-xml:lang-attributes
> The only counter-argument I may have for validity is that I have no idea how that could be properly (and easily) checked by an implementation….
