LANGUAGE SUBTAG REGISTRATION FORM (R4): pinyin

[CE Whitehead]

The lack of recognition of variants is I suppose is the advantage of having [?]-[Latn] registered as the prefix for [pinyin] where the [?] stands for [zh] or any other language subtags (Tibetan or others) that we decide are appropriate. --C.
