I don't think it makes any sense to suggest that the varieties of 
Spanish spoken in North and South America comprise any kind of 
linguistic unity, and despite repeated requests for any actual 
evidence, no such proof has been forthcoming. Acordingly, and as this 
code is intended for some kind of locale tagging, it seems to me that 
if a geographic code were available then the code could be cobbled 
together without asking *me* to approve of it.

Sorry, guys, but I haven't been convinced about this.

SIL doesn't have an "American Spanish" code, does it?
