Please stop worrying about the name for the moment. The question is, is the 1911 BOP a complete specification? Or is it an outline that there is an agreement? In that case I would like a reference to an authoritative dictionary or orthography-list, so that those interested in matching the subtag to something can match it to something more substantial than a decree.

The same question goes for the 1945 COLB. 

Can you supply such references, please?
