These four registration requests look to me to be well-motivated, and the 
proposed codes are reasonable, with one possible concern: de-DE and de-AT 
are already in use designating data in the tradition orthographies. Does 
it make sense to use the shorter tags to mean the traditional 
orthographies, or should the shorter tags become understood to be 
ambiguous with regard to the orthographies?
