A remaining query

Dear Michael

Please could you clarify the following points please?

Considering the length of the recent discussions, I think it's
important not to risk being ambiguous in any way.

1. Subject lines

I counted the subject lines in recent postings:

Subject: I approve the registration of uz-Latn (Uzbek in Latin script)
Subject: I approve the registration of uz-Cyrl (Uzbek in Cyrillic script)

Subject: I approve the registration of zh-Hant (Chinese, in traditional script)
Subject: I approve the registration of zh-Hans (Chinese, in simplified script)

Subject: I approve the registration of sr-Latn (Serbian in Latin script)

Subject: I approve the registration of az-Cyrl (Azerbaijani in Cyrillic script)
Subject: I approve the registration of az-Latn (Azerbaijani in Latin script)
Subject: I approve the registration of az-Arab (Azerbaijani in Arabic script)

There seemed to be no email with the subject line

        "Subject: I approve the registration of sr-Cyrl (Serbian in
        Cyrillic script)"

However, see also 2., 3 and query 4 below.

I would have expected it to say in the subject line:

        "Subject: I approve the registration of sr-Cyrl (Serbian in
        Cyrillic script)"

Instead, it said only:

        "Subject: sr-latn LANGUAGE TAG REGISTRATION FORM"

There seems to have been no explicit approaval given by you as
