I did send on an additional note with a URL to the Ethnologue site,
particularly drawing their attention to the comments field at the top of
the entry. But as you note, this was already on the application I
submitted and doesn't seem to be considered "reputable." While we're still
finding errors in Ethnologue, I haven't seen anything that addresses the
same subject as completely as it does. If there is something better out
there, I haven't seen it.

A challenge. I found a reputable source cited by the DGLFLF on
http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/dglf/lgfrance/lgfrance_archives.htm
mentioning "dialecte allemand d'Alsace et de Moselle" on
http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/dglf/lang-reg/rapport_cerquiglini/langues-france.html
That would de-FR-alsacien instead of gsw-FR, therefore it's not
what we want. Why do the ISO 639-2 folks reject ISO 639-3 info
as second reputable source ?
