'he' and 'iw' are allowed to have the same Description because one of
them is deprecated with the other one as its Preferred-Value. 'iw' is
deprecated in the Registry because it was withdrawn from ISO 639 when
they introduced 'he'. If 639-3 does the same, withdrawing 'xsk' at the
same time they add the new name to 'kho', then there is no problem.
Otherwise, we have roughly the same problem we were going to have with
Dimli.
