Is it possible the requestor didn't specify his need precisely enough? 
Or the requestor's knowledge of specifics is limited?

My *guess* is Mark needs this to process the CLDR request -- issued by 
*me* in fact (prompted by the fact the CLDR is "allowing" to present the 
Belarusian-language data in the non-academic literary norm).

Therefore Mark's request should read on the lines of "the literary norm 
codified by National Academy of Sciences of Belarus". This would include 
1934acad, 1959acad and possibly 2010acad. And CLDR could use the 
umbrella "academic".
