I hadn't thought they would necessarily be sent in batches to IANA, only
to this list. If I remember correctly, in the past I posted 639-3-based
records and forms to the list in batches, but I sent them to Michael for
submission to IANA all at once. I'm not sure whether it's best to have
IANA do several Registry updates in a case like this, or just one.
Anyway, if they do all go to IANA at the same time, the "right order" to
post them on the list becomes kind of moot. The simple cases should
probably go first, as opposed to changes that cascade over into several
subtags.
I need to wait a few days anyway for ISO 639-3/RA to fix a couple of
errors in the data files.
