I notice that the IANA registry has the following record:<br>
<br>
Type: variant<br>
Subtag: simple<br>
Description: Simplified form<br>
Added: 2015-12-29<br>
<br>
So, in theory, the simple variant may occur on any tag. Is this the intenti=
on? I realise that if there is a long list of tags that it can occur on, it=
 may not be worth listing them all. But I&#39;m wondering what the thinking=
 is behind this variant. Perhaps just pointing me to the original applicati=
