I have read the latest draft and have no further comments. These editorial suggestions are not critical for publication and wide review, so if there is no time to discuss them or no consensus to adopt them, that is OK by me.

<p class="definition"><dfn>Unicode Locale</dfn>. A combination of language tag extensions ([[RFC6067]], [[RFC6497]]) and additional processing rules defined by [[CLDR]] to support <a>locales</a>.</p>

<p>A Unicode locale provides the ability to specify in a language tag international preference variations that go beyond linguistic or regional variation or to select formatting behavior or content when there are multiple options. Unicode locale identifiers are identical to language tags, but apply additional rules about the content of certain language tags. Unicode Locales increasingly form the basis for <a>internationalization</a> on the Web, particularly as part of the <code>Intl</code> locale framework [[ECMA-402]] in JavaScript [[ECMASCRIPT]].</p>

it's not "may apply additional rules": they do apply. I like the addition of "interpretation" though.

It does, although I'm increasingly minded to split the sentence into two parts:

Unicode locale identifiers are well-formed BCP47 language tags.

(this emphasizes the "language tag-ness" of them)

And then:

Unicode locale identifiers have additional rules about the structure and content of a language tag as well as supplying specific interpretation of certain subtags.
