Due caution. IETF is awaiting the acceptance of ISO 693-3 which
seemingly isn't released as yet? I'm not sure of the actual
status, but the ietf lists are full of it.
I really think the fo: namespace could be lost if this gains acceptance.

public static String langtag="("+language+
"(-"+script+")?"+
"(-"+region+")?"+
"(-"+variant +")?"+
"(-"+extension + ")?"+
"(-"+privateuse+")?)|"+irregulars;
etc.
I have the rest of the java regex, which should ship into relax ng quite
happily.
public static String irregulars ="en-GB-oed|i-ami|i-bnn|i-default" +
"|i-enochian|i-hak|i-klingon|i-lux|" +
"|i-mingo|i-navajo|i-pwn|i-tao|i-tay|" +
"i-tsu|sgn-BE-fr|sgn-BE-nl|sgn-CH-de";
public static String grandfathered =
"(i([a-zA-Z]{1,2})?)("+s+"("+alphanum+"){2,8}){1,2}";
etc.
Though that's questionnable.
I think it's doable (but a bit messy ;-)
