@zcorpan I agree with you that setting srclang to a non BCP-47 value and then querying it back will return the same value (because this is simple reflection).

However, how about TextTrack.language [1]? It says the user agent should return a BCP 47 language tag. Why is it OK for the user-agent to return something that is not BCP 47?

Note that the web-platform-test is reading TextTrack.language, not srclang.
