1. When you register a IANA tag, you are to register it by language,

I don't see how this is relevant for this discussion. If the .com
registrar decides to use a subset of 639 only, I consider this a valid
choice. No need to register any language tag with IANA; all tags
you ever want to use are already there.
2. W3C discovered that a language tag by ISO 639 was not enough to
describe an XML document.
This is completely unrelated to IDN.
1. internationlisation: this is the IDN and the ccTLD (quoted in the
language/script/ccTLD sequence is the authority). So the default should
be the IDN Table assuming that ccTLD Managers are the trustees of their
communities and know better about their people than anyone else.
Sounds like a reasonable approach; it appears that Verisign is using
it.
