No, I am not proposing to use "BCP 47" locale names as arguments to
@documentlanguage, but generate "BCP 47" locale names based on
@documentlanguage and @documentscript.

"BCP 47" locale names are used for xml:lang, HTML lang and LaTeX babel
language names.

These names could be used too in Texinfo TeX to specify the txi-*.tex
file names like txi-xx-Latn.tex used for a @documentlanguage/@documentscript
combination, when @documentscript is specified.
