That's not my point. Forget the Wikipedia.

What's the problem with having a tag for that 
taxonomy thing? That's a highly specialised 
language, Latin-derived.

I see all kinds of requirements appearing 
suddenly: 'what about country codes' or 'what 
about speech synthesisers'.
Are those really relevant to the process?

What about those requirements with regard to 
some of the codes already assigned? E.g., codes 
for obsolete orthographies (some of the French, 
I believe?). Should those codes be scrapped? How 
about the primitive (not 'functionally complete' 
-- don't know that term in English) languages?
