Not directly by the ABNF, but by the text following it.

Since I like the file self declarations, I would suggest to
make the following text replacement, with obvious consequences:

---------------------OLD TEXT-----------------
The first record in the file contains the single field whose field-name is
"File-Date".
The field-body of this record contains the last modification date of this
copy of the registry,
making it possible to compare different versions of the registry. The
registry on the IANA
website is the most current. Versions with an older date than that one are
not up-to-date.

File-Date: 2004-06-28
%%
---------------------NEW TEXT-----------------
The first record in the file SHALL contain two fields whose field-names
are "File-Date" and "Description".
The field-body of the "File-Date" field of this record SHALL contain the
last modification date of this copy
of the registry. This makes it possible to compare different versions of
the registry. The registry on the
IANA website is the most current. Versions with an older date than that
one are not up-to-date.
The field-body of the "Description" field SHALL contain a short comment on
what the content of the
registry is. For example,

File-Date: 2004-06-28
Description: IANA Language subtag registry (see RFC XXXX)
-----------------------------------------

This would then apply to both registries. (Maybe some other sentence needs
to be amended too.) Note the introduction of the "SHALL"s above, to make
it proper standardese.
