The Language Subtag Registry, unlike its predecessor, registers subtags
rather than whole tags (though the whole tags of the predecessor registry
are preserved as well). It includes, therefore, all the code elements
of ISO 3166-1, ISO 15924, and ISO 639-1, plus the code elements of ISO
639-2 that do not have 639-1 equivalents.
It will also include all new code elements issued by the related
RAs and MAs, with the exception of those (if any) which reuse former
code elements in a new significance.
