Accepted.

Roozbeh says that he knows that az is written in Arabic in both Iran and
Azerbaycan, and in Latin and in Cyrillic in Azerbaycan only.  Documentation
of this claim can surely be found.  Postulating that it has been found,
do you agree that the tags I mentioned (az-latn, az-cyrl, az-arab-az,
az-arab-ir) are fit to be registered?  If not, why not?
