font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Note that "cpe" and
"son" are codes for language *collections*, and they are the only<br>
such codes that have a "suppress-script". Collection codes aren't
recommended for<br>
language tagging in the first place, and it is also unclear why these two codes
ever got<br>
a "suppress-script". If collection codes are to have
"suppress-script", I guess a few<br>
other collection codes should have such a field too, if the languages in the
collection<br>
are all written the same script (but that would be a new take on collection
codes,<br>
and how the manage them). Note also that these "suppress-script"
fields were<br>
added at a time when the division into collection codes on the one hand, and<br>
macro+individual language codes on the other hand, was unclear (probably not<br>
affecting 'cpe', but maybe affecting 'son').<br>
<br>
So I still recommend removing the "suppress-script" field from the
records<br>
for 'cpe' and 'son'.<br>

Make sure to remember to insert your correction to item 6 of the form for 'son'<br>

I'd need to research this more or abstain from commenting; I do think we can
probably remove the suppress-script for "cpe"):<br>
