UTS #35: Unicode Locale Data Markup Language (LDML)

[I wouldn't expect this to be news to many of the people who are active
on this mailing list, given that they were apparently involved in its
creation, but it was news to me, so I wanted to share it.]

It appears that Unicode has defined what is effectively a superset of
BCP 47 for use in the CLDR:

https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/

This goes beyond maintaining the 't' and 'u' extensions to defining
their own rules for parsing and canonicalizing BCP 47 language tags.

Can someone who is familiar with the matter explain the relationship
between Unicode's UTS #35 and IETF's BCP 47 standards?
