Here comes the Yiddish

[Harald Tveit Alvestrand]

Script codes were one of the examples of subtags given in RFC 1766.
We omitted them from the list of examples in RFC 3066.

I don't remember the argument for doing that, but wonder if we were trying 
to avoid using example script codes that were not RFC 15924 compliant; I 
don't remember an argument saying that the use of script codes was 
deprecated outright.
