Ambiguity (Announcing draft-langtags-phillips-davis-00.txt)

[Mark Davis]

For 3066, that one doesn't matter, since there is a 2-letter code (jv) that is
used in preference.

We are going by the table in
http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/codechanges.html for the deprecated codes.
Note: I see the code "sh" which is marked as Deprecated, but not as [withdrawn],
that needs to be added to the list in 3066bis.

(We have a Serbian in our group who remarked recently that he is becoming
remarkably multilingual. He used to be fluent in English and Serbo-croatian;
suddenly he became fluent in 3 languages: English, Serbian, and Croatian; and it
appears that he will very shortly become fluent in 4 languages: English,
Serbian, Croatian, and Montenegrin! From 2 to 4 languages with no effort on his
part -- that's progress.)
