I suggest that we hold off on these until the new, revised iana registry is in place. There is no immediate need for them, and it complicates the process.<br><br clear="all">Mark<br>

On June 1, a batch of 15 changes for ISO 15924 ("Codes for the<br>
representation of names of scripts") was approved by the RA. Most of<br>
these changes deal only with adding Property Value Alias values to<br>
existing script code elements. These values are used by Unicode and are<br>
not relevant to the Language Subtag Registry.<br>
<br>
Two new code elements were added for the scripts Bamum ("Bamu") and Old<br>
South Arabian ("Sarb"). Additionally, the code element "Orkh" had its<br>
English Name field changed from "Orkhon" to "Old Turkic, Orkhon Runic."<br>
These changes do need to be reflected in the Registry.<br>
<br>
Below are the proposed new records and registration forms for these<br>
three changes. After a two-week review period, they will be submitted<br>
to IANA. Please note that RFC 4646, Section 3.3 requires changes to be<br>
made to the Registry to reflect relevant changes to the core standards.<br>
One could conceivably argue that we should keep the existing Description<br>
field "Orkhon" as well as adding the new names, but other than that,<br>
there should be little debate.<br>
