</div>What you write here is clearly stated on the zho-page<br>
linked in my reply, it is not possible to miss that:<br>

</div>I have also already commented that the <q> real </q><br>
languages could be added later to the prefixes of<br>
the requested variants.<br>

</div>Yes, that would be dubious. But I don't see Mandarin<br>
in the original or revised registration requests, R2:<br>
<br>
| Description: Wade-Giles romanization of Chinese<br>
| Description: Hanyu Pinyin romanization of Chinese<br>
<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>

<br>
</div>Old: "Description: Pinyin romanization of Chinese"<br>
That is why R2 updated the original request as proposed<br>
by John, isn't it ?<br>
<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>

<br>
</div>"zh" is the only game in town at the moment. I don't<br>
expect a "4646bis" anytime soon, let alone in the two<br>
weeks for the review of Mark's requests.<br>
