Thanks Felix, I'm probably picky, but 'The list of language ranges is a comma-separated list of basic language ranges, or the specific wildcard language range "*". The list MUST NOT contain the wildcard "*" and other languages ranges.' Seems still to have room for misinterpretation. Maybe: 'The list of language ranges is a comma-separated list of basic language ranges. When used, the specific wildcard language range "*" MUST be the only value in the list.

One detail: The text says 'The list of language ranges is a comma-separated list of basic language ranges, or the wildcard "*"' But BCP47 defines the 'basic language range' in a way that includes "*": 'A "basic language range" has the same syntax as an [RFC3066] language tag or is the single character "*".' So a list of basic language ranges could be localeFilterList="fr,*,de". If we want to exclude "*" from multi-values lists, we should specify something like: 'The list of language ranges is a comma-separated list of one or more language tags as defined in RFC3066 or a lone wildcard "*"' (or something of that effect).
