Subject: SLP v2 header language tag

Hi all

I've got a question about the header format of SLP v2
(draft v 11). In chapter 8 the language tag is defined as

 - Language Tag conforms to [7].  The Language Tag in a reply MUST
   be the same as the Language Tag in the request.  This field
must
   be encoded 1*8ALPHA ["-" 1*8ALPHA].

But reference [7] (RFC 1766) says the following:

  Language-Tag = Primary-tag *( "-" Subtag )
  Primary-tag = 1*8ALPHA
  Subtag = 1*8ALPHA

So my question is if SLP v2 only supports one dialect subtag
in the language tag, and if so why is the Lang Tag Length 
encoded as 16 bits when the max length of the language tag
is 17 bytes?

Regards

/Henrik Eriksson
