Proposed Solution:

Add the following text after the bullet list in Section 3.5 (Possibilities for Registration):

--
Note: Subtags proposed for registration that would cause all or part of a grandfathered tag to become redundant but who's meaning conflicts with or alters the meaning of the grandfathered tag MUST be rejected.
