I hadn't thought of that. Does anyone else agree that when a change in
the Description field is made, based on a change in the corresponding
ISO standard, it would be useful to add a Comments field indicating the
previous name? Would this help users? Comments invited.
This would, indeed, reintroduce the concept of a review period for
ISO-based additions and changes, though only on that question -- the
question of whether to add or change the subtag at all would still not
be open.
