Mere written examples don't, in and of themselves, constitute "a
literature", which is what 639-3/RA requires. I would expect to see short
stories, poems, instruction manuals, or something of the sort, not merely
sample sentences. As things stand, only 19 constructed languages are
registered, all of which clearly have some of these things. Here they
are, from http://sil.org/iso639-3/codes.asp?order=lang_type&letter=c .
