suppress-script values for macrolanguage-encompassed languages

[CE Whitehead]

Hi, it seems at ethnologue it's grouped in the collection Deaf Sign Language (http://www.ethnologue.com/show_family.asp?subid=23-16)
So it can optionally be used with the code sgn as Richard Ishida's utility indicates the registry says:
"Yiddish Sign Language 
    For use with the sgn primary language subtag, ie. as the sequence sgn-yds. However it is usually preferable to replace that sequence with just the yds primary language subtag.

Type: extlang
Added: 2009-07-29
Preferred-Value: yds
Prefix: sgn"
Best,
