It's a fairly long and complicated section:

<http://bits.nsms.ox.ac.uk:8080/jenkins/job/TEIP5-Documentation/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/Guidelines-web/en/html/CH.html#CHSH>

How does the new IANA list relate to BCP 47 and the two ISO standards? 
Does RFC 5646 (which I think is the RFC for the new subtag-registry) 
just replace BCP 47?

Cheers,
Martin
