Looking at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#sec-existing-stds

IETF RFC 3066

    IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). RFC 3066: Tags for the
    Identification of Languages, ed. H. Alvestrand. 2001. (See
    http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3066.txt.)

I don't see any suitable "or its successor" text to use.
