New extension for transformed languages

Just got a new spec published that for the first time gives a standard way
to specify transliterations between languages. So "Italian transliterated
into Russian letters" can be requested or tagged with the code "ru-t-it".
It is now in the standard for identifying languages on the internet (
tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47).

[FYI, the page below is an example of how transliteration is used at
Google.]

The spec is at tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6497, and supported in the latest
version of the Unicode Locale Data specification (LDML,
unicode.org/reports/tr35/).
