I’d like to see what others would think about adding s-s fields for these cases:

I don't guess that there are serious market issues regarding 40+ varieties of Quechua. Nor that there are people confused by Persian and Dari not being written in Greek script. 

"I suspect probably" is not very compelling.

Processing 50+ requests is not an enjoyable exercise for anybody who has to do the processing. Not for Doug, not for me, not for Amanda. Is something actually broken, Peter? Are people finding their Quechua data unreliable due to a lack of s-s?
