We're seeing two different approaches:
1. Generalise from aa-XX and aa-YY to aa-Tttt-XX and aa-Tttt-YY
---------------------------------------------------------------
Where a language is sometimes written using one script and sometimes
using another script, add the relevant script codes to the usual
tags. The usual tags take the form ll[-CC]. And we've decided that
script codes, when used, are placed after the "ll" code, like so:
ll[-Ssss][-CC]. Then given any two tags aa-XX and aa-YY, the
addition of the script code Tttt results in the two tags aa-Tttt-XX
and aa-Tttt-YY. Thus we end up with:
aa
aa-XX
aa-YY
aa-Tttt
aa-Tttt-XX
aa-Tttt-YY
2. Treat each ll-Ssss-CC request as an ad hoc registration
----------------------------------------------------------
If we wish to indicate the writing of aa-XX and aa-YY using script
Tttt, we have to drop the -XX and -YY and use just aa-Tttt *unless
we can demonstrate some differences* between aa-Tttt-XX and
aa-Tttt-YY. Thus we end up with:
aa
aa-XX
aa-YY
aa-Tttt
What we need to do is directly discuss these two different
approaches.
