New registry almost up to date; one minor glitch

Thanks to the quick help of IANA, the new 4646bis Registry is almost
completely up to date. They have processed the three new changes to
script subtags (Bamu, Orkh, Sarb), and they have also reinstated the six
changes that were approved back in March and April (Lana, Lisu, Nkgb,
Plrd, Tglg, Zinh).
There is one problem: one of the Description fields for 'Nkgb' still
contains hex NCRs:
Description: 'Na-'Khi ²Ggŏ-¹baw
when it should be UTF-8:
Description: 'Na-'Khi ²Ggŏ-¹baw
This was my fault, since I re-submitted the original records with hex
NCRs to IANA on Michael's behalf, and forgot that draft-4646bis makes it
the Reviewer's responsibility to ensure the UTF-8 characters are
correct, not IANA's responsibility to convert them. I've sent corrected
records to IANA, and hopefully they will be able to post another new
Registry shortly.
Once this is done, the 4646bis-era Registry will be current with all
approved requests, and for the first time in 3 years, I don't have to
try to maintain a new draft Registry in parallel with the existing 4646
Registry. A good day for me.
