The idea is to develop a non-normative but useful list of national
variants of those languages that are known to have them.

I hope that Michael is merely being sloppy about his hyphens vs. his low
lines, but perhaps not.  cy-GB at least makes little sense, as there is
no other kind of cy (unless cy-AR is counted; but if so then *-us should
be counted for practically every language).

Promises become binding when there is a meeting of the minds and consideration
is exchanged. So it was at King's Bench in common law England; so it was
under the common law in the American colonies; so it was through more than
two centuries of jurisprudence in this country; and so it is today.
