Tom,

I agree that there should be a reusable typedef for language tags
instead of copying a long pattern around. rfc6991-bis could be a home
for this but work on rfc6991-bis stalled because we could not settle
the debate about IP address types. Perhaps it is easier to roll an
ietf-lang YANG module that initially just defined a language tag TC.


<tp>

Two additional thoughts.  Martin Durst has seen the YANG for language tags in 
the I2NSF I-D and says that it is 'complete overkill'.  Also, 10 IPR claims 
have been submitted against I2NSF I-D, albeit for older versions, with 
'Possible Royalty/Fee' so I have gone off the idea of using anything from that 
WG.  I see that others use just a length constraint for the basic format which 
is hardly worth a type.
