Amazing!
I totally take back what I said years ago about ISO language-tag 
registration requiring "a midnight seance with six-fingered Swissmen, 
during a lunar eclipse, on Easter Island, and a check for 2i+3 piastres 
(drawn on a Maltese account), endorsed, in dragon blood, by two unrelated 
Lovecraftian gods".
