Saying en-scouse is different from en is one thing. Orthographic 
differences are not language codes. lang=yi-Hebr vs lang=yi-Latn is 
not a language distinction. It's lang=yi, script=Hebr or 
script=Latin. Es is di zelbike Sprakh.

I think have to reject these requests for language codes on these 
grounds. If we need an RFC on script coding somebody should take that 
up.
