We haven't had any discussion in two weeks on the proposal to<br>
un-deprecate 'sh', but the latest proposal by Addison (with a new<br>
Comments field) hasn't yet been posted in a single form-and-record<br>
e-mail.<br>
<br>
Addison suggested:<br>
<br>

<br>
and I wanted to propose something like this instead:<br>
<br>
> Comments: sr, hr, bs are preferred for most modern uses</blockquote><div><br>sounds good.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

<br>
to avoid dragging "macrolanguage" into the picture and to avoid<br>
repeating the names of other subtags (which may change).<br>
<br>
I also asked (twice) for clarification on what difference it makes that<br>
'sh' is a macrolanguage, or more precisely, corresponds to ISO 639-3<br>
'hbs' which is a macrolanguage in that standard. I still don't see what<br>
being a macrolanguage has to do with being deprecated or not deprecated.<br>
I withdraw any objections to removing the Deprecated field from this<br>
subtag, but would like it to be for the right, defensible reason, such<br>
as that the status of the code element in 639-3 is believed to supersede<br>
that of 639-1.</blockquote><div><br>Yes, that is the right reason.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>
