<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I think that the ISO 639/JAC erred in
including so many names with the macrolanguage (done before I was a voting

because they are included in Part 2. So the offending name pairs will be
disambiguated in Part 3.</font>

My preference would be to remove Dimli and Kirmanjki as alternative<br>
descriptions for zza, if ISO 639-3 RA does so. Failing that, I support<br>
your suggestion, even if ISO 639-3 RA continues to ignore the issue.<br>
