I was under the impression that there's no hurry to *add* s-s to any
existing record (not even "for completeness", if other languages in
the same macrolanguage already have such a field), since the lack of
s-s doesn't take a position either way as to whether a language is
predominantly written with one script - and that s-s exists to fulfil
a certain matching need, which may or may not apply to a given
language.

For example, how likely is it that somebody would mark a text as being
in "qub-Latn" rather than merely "qub", such that you would need "S-s:
Latn" in order for certain systems to consider both tags equivalent?

Cheers,
Philip
