    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.

    Internationalization is an architecture.
    It is not a feature.
