There is such an effort. It is called, colloquially, RFC 4646bis. There
is an IETF working group, called 'LTRU' at work on this effort. This
work is nearing maturity, with only a few open issues.
The mailing list:
https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ltru/index.html
The current draft:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ltru-4646bis-08.txt
Editor's copies are on my personal website (if you prefer the HTML
version). Note that I am the co-editor with Mark Davis:
There is also a draft registry update (edited by Doug Ewell). Currently
the mailing list is discussing how to handle macrolanguages and there
are semi-regular teleconferences. See the LTRU list for details.
