[bp-i18n-specdev] improve description of BCP 47

aphillips has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/bp-i18n-specdev:

== improve description of BCP 47 ==
http://w3c.github.io/bp-i18n-specdev/#lang_use_bcp47

The description of BCP 47 could use some help, as it is "backwards 
looking"

> BCP 47 defines a method to combine subtags in order to create a much
 more powerful notation for language tags than that provided by the 
old ISO lists, but it is also backwards compatible with the ISO lists.

I'd suggest:

> BCP 47 is the language tag system used by Internet and Web standards
 (and many other places). It defines a method of using _subtags_ based
 on several ISO standards and a registration process to describe 
language.
