Could be useful.

Why "?" rather than "/" ?

Why lowercasing ?

Yes. If needed, a little text like saying that this is an rui for bcp 47 language 
tag could be published. 
What is the best between 
RewriteRule assignments/XXXX/. assignments/XXXX/note.txt [L]
and 
RewriteRule assignments/XXXX/. assignments/XXXX/note.txt [R=303,L]  
?

Knowing that there were previous uri for rfc-1766 tag famillie, and 
to prevent issue if other rfc defining langtag, i think "rfc4646bis" or 
"bcp 47" could be added in "XXXX".
