1959 and 2008 differ in that the latter simplifies and "orthogonalises" 
several rules. However, some (borrowed) words would start to look 
somewhat different in their finales, therefore it's maybe wise to 
introduce two subtags. 1985, as I said, may be ignored -- too minor.

I wouldn't know what's, in Registry's opinion, appropriate w/r to the 
subdivisions of "-tarask" subtag.
I see, however, that such subdivisions are seen here as appropriate w/r 
to the "-academy" subtag.
*Unnecessary* complication of matters, if you ask me, but that's not my 
call.

Obviously, but see above.
