Also, note that matching defined in RFC4647 does not use sub tag information from e.g. the underlying ISO standards. Such information is described in RFC 4646for the purpose of language tag validation, a process independent of language tag matching. The validation process uses the IANAlanguage sub tag registry [http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry].

Incorporating changes proposed by Jeremy Carol, I arrived at:
[[
Returns true if language-range (second argument) matches language-tag (first argument). language-range is a basic language range per Matching of Language Tags [RFC4647] section 2.1 and the matching scheme is basic filtering defined in [RFC4647] section 3.3.1. A language-range of "*" matches any non-empty language-tag string.
]]

Does this solution satisfy you? If so, please respond to this message, prefixing the Subject: with "[CLOSED]".
