Duplicate Busters: Survey #1 [mtf] and [mxr]

[mtf] Murik      and      [mxr] Murik

The 2008-208 change request handling, renaming [mxr],  was the cause of 
this duplication. 

ISO 639-3/RA Recommendation: update the reference name for each to add the 
primary country in which the language is used (as recommended by Doug 
Ewell).

This clarification does not have to wait for the annual review process, 
as, again, it should have been handled when the update to [mxr] was 
processed.

I now have a new check to run to discover potential duplicates =before= 
then get finalized.

Subject
Duplicate Busters: Survey #1




This is the first of two surveys that are being distributed to both the 
LTRU and ietf-languages groups, to determine how to resolve two 
different types of duplicate Description information in the IANA 
Language Subtag Registry.  The results will affect the contents of the 
future (RFC 4646bis) Registry, and some of the results may affect the 
current (RFC 4646) Registry as well.
