For the benefit of the list, which I forgot to include in my reply to John
on Monday.
Cheers,

Hi John,
The language tag is simply a registry requirement, which to our
understanding is used to further segment IDN registrations for reporting
purposes at the registry, or as you put it a marker to further identify
IDN's (beyond the xn-- prefix).
Cheers,
James

When using the new IDN Conversion tool at the URL found in the recent
reseller update, it is possible to convert to and from Punycode without
specifying a "Language Code". But the new RCL code and the update to the
Horizon RWI has the "Language Code" option required when registering or
transferring a domain name of the IDN persuasion. What is the purpose of
this language code, as it seems one can do conversions to and from UTF-8
without it? Is it actually the marker for an IDN, i.e. if the domain has a
language code it's an IDN?
IDNs, formerly known as multilingual domain names... "Internationalized
domain names" as if domain names were not previously international.
