Leif's political arguments do not really interest me.

I speak Danish, and I can easily distinguish Nynorsk from Bokmål. (I  
well remember the first time I encountered Nynorsk. It is rather  
distant from Danish!)

It is clear that høgnorsk is in some sense

Indo-European
Germanic
North-Germanic
East-Scandinavian
Norwegian
Nynorsk
Høgnorsk

It should be sub-tagged nn-hognorsk and not further up the tree.
no-hognorsk is in some sense valid, but no less valid than gem-hognorsk
