Changes in ISO 639-2 collection code elements

[Kent Karlsson]

I guess this makes the "639-2" column in the four ISO 639-5 tables outdated:
http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-5/{id,en,fr,hier}.php. That would go for
ISO 639-5's Annex A also: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-5/annex.php.

You can see the changes on the ISO 639-2/RA "Change Notice" page at
> 
http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_changes.php .

These changes

Proposed registration forms and revisions to

be sent to this list soon.
