Re: [i18n-activity] Unicode "tag" characters are deprecated for language tagging (#1395)

Is there any danger of this mechanism being truly broken? It seems that while the consortium has all sorts of negative things to say about the scheme, it is without meaningful direct alternatives. There is no direct alternative for in-band language tagging in plain text, and it also doesn't conflict with other non-deprecated uses, in applications that are aware of the scheme.

TL;DR: the reasons for deprecating this are overblown, and don't really have any impact on the particular use case.
