<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>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>
(and I am not sure about removing the suppress script for 'son' in any case; I'd need to research this more or abstain from commenting; I do think we can probably remove the suppress-script for "cpe"):<BR>

Thanks!<BR>
