I think it was agreed in LTRU that in the RFC 4646bis era, *all* changes 
to the Registry, including those that simply keep step with the core ISO 
and UN standards, need to have a registration form for archiving.  This 
is in addition to posting the proposed new record on this list for a 
week before submission to IANA.  And I think it was agreed here that we 
would start following the RFC 4646bis-era rules, even though they're not 
in effect yet.
