I have tried to follow this without knowing much about the various
politics. With the traffic the past few days, I am sure that I am
lost.

Many of us rely on the ASCII to be able to make comparisons. Please,
please: don't publish cruddy text files and assume that people will
make do with the PDF.

I, for one, cannot follow what is going on in this document without
such a list. I'm not just being lazy here: there appear to be
significant protocol changes that I can't pick apart in the text.
On an unrelated note, the thread about ISO 639-[3-6] makes me very
cautious about this proposal. I agree with the desire not to allow
IANA to be an end-run around the ISO process. However, it now sounds
like the ISO process has become much more chaotic and nearly
impossible to follow.
