Anomaly in upcoming registry

[Rebecca S Guenther]

Yes, we do need to make the changes to the language names in 639-5. The
problem is that we have 2 different systems running and one is newer and
more experimental. We hope to do this soon.

"Remainder group" is an ISO 639-5 term for an ISO 639-2 concept, viz. 
"Indo-European (Other)", and these were all effectively converted to 
full language groups on 2009-03-03 by changing the reference names. 
Check the change page at 
http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_changes.php .

ISO 639-5/RA should consider updating their information to match that 
maintained by ISO 639-2/RA, especially since it's the same RA.
