<p> </p>
<p>There is an anomaly in the upcoming registry. The ISO 639-3
code corresponding to '<span>sh</span>' is not deprecated, it is an
ordinary macrolanguage like many ('no', 'zh', 'ar',...)<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/documentation.asp?id=hbs" target="_blank">http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/documentation.asp?id=hbs</a><br>
<br>
Yet in the registry, we have '<span>sh</span>' as Deprecated. The new
version of BCP 47 follows the status of languages in ISO 639-3, and for
consistency "sh" should not be deprecated. (From a usage standpoint,
the code "sh" is also as useful as any other macrolanguage.)<br>
<br>
I request the change in status.<br>
