The WG discussed this topic in our face to face meeting yesterday afternoon
and this morning, with the following results:  we agreed

- to make a regex equivalent to that in RFC 3066 the normative
definition of the lexical space (and thus of the value space,
since they are 1:1) for language

- NOT to include RFC 3066's rules about ISO / IANA registration
as part of schema validity for this type

- to make our reference to 3066 informative, not normative

- to make our reference to 3066 and its successors (not a
rigid reference to 3066 alone)

- to note explicitly that the other rules of 3066 (other than the
regex) do not constrain schema-validity, but NOT actively to
encourage schema processors to check them

The editors will revise the proposal and get it back to the WG.
