[loc-en-dev] [Fwd: grandfathered language tags]

[Naoto Sato]

I vote against supporting this for JDK7 due to the schedule/resource.  I 
believe that this could be added later.  For JDK7 I think we should only 
focus on "langtag" in the following BCP47 ABNF.

Language-Tag  = langtag
                  / privateuse    ; private use tag
                  / grandfathered ; grandfathered registrations

Thanks,
Naoto
