639-2's job is not to "confirm" 639-3. It is to provide a useful subset
of 639-3 (and the future 639-5) consisting of languages that have a
sufficient amount of sufficiently widely distributed text in them or
documentation about them. (Specifically, there must exist at least 50
documents that are held in no more than 5 institutions.) Many languages
listed in 639-3 do not meet these restrictions.
