I applied for the change with the ISO 639-2 registrar. The IANA request 
should remain on hold, pending the outcome of the ISO request.

Ah .... I will make the change request to ISO if that's where it belongs. 
If this tag was ISO 639-3 only, the reference to Ethnologue might be more 
valid. But yeah, this is ISO 639-2 and ISO 639-3. Have we ever veered from 
the ISO language list's names in language descriptions (other than to 
delete the French names)?

Is this properly for us or for ISO 639?
