I find this document distressing, not because of its views on UTF-7,
but because of its views on Unicode language tags. It nowhere
takes account of the fact that language tags are not yet part of
Unicode or ISO 10646, and it recommends their use only in
multi-language documents, a position which cannot be justified
from the UTR.
