"Language" as defined in Best Practices, etc.

Hi,

In browsing the Best Practices profile [1], I note that the definition
of language in RSS is a bit stale. In particular, the profile implies
that only ISO 639 codes are valid and the link to RSS 0.91 codes is
slightly stale also.

In fact, the language tags defined by W3C are the same as IETF BCP 47
(currently represented by RFC 4646) and the codes, including the ISO
639 codes, are all included in an IANA maintained subtag registry. I
would like to suggest updating the Best Practices profile and other
documentation to reflect these changes.
