There also isn't a problem in the following cases related to existing
registrations:
gan = Gan Chinese
wuu = Wu Chinese
yue = Yue Chinese
hak = Hakka Chinese (used in i-hak)
ami = Amis (used in i-ami)
bnn = Bunun (used in i-bnn)
pwn = Paiwan (used in i-pwn)
tao = Tao (used in i-tao)
tay = Tayal (used in i-tay)
tsu = Tsou (used in i-tsu)
The draft code table for ISO 639-3 is now consistent with these alpha-3
subtags found in IANA registrations.
There *is* a potential problem with
bok for Bokmal Norwegian (ISO 639-2 = nob; bok is not assigned in ISO
639-2)
nyn for Nynorsk Norwegian (ISO 639-2 = nno; nyn = Nyankole)
though the two registered tags that use these (no-bok, no-nyn) are
deprecated.
Another potential concern is
lux = Luxembourghish (used in i-lux, ISO 639-2 is ltz; lux is not
assigned in ISO 639-2)
