I hope this only refers to the details of the standard proper, not the
code list, which is still not freely available.
As editor of 4645bis, I was a strong proponent of including the ISO
639-5 code elements in the expanded Language Subtag Registry, provided
that the 639-5 code list would be made freely available with little
delay. If this is not going to happen -- and I'm basing that likelihood
not so much on Stéphane's remark as on the continuing lack of
information from the RA -- then perhaps we in LTRU need to revisit that
decision. We require all of the other core standards to have freely
available code lists.
