IANA has posted a revised copy of the Language Subtag Registry,
containing the new script subtags based on additions to ISO 15924, plus
an apostrophe change to Ethiopic and a correction to grandfathered tag
'Amis (now Amis with no apostrophe).
http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry
For some reason, even though the new subtags were submitted to IANA with
File-Date and Added records of 2006-06-28, IANA has decided to change
the File-Date of the Registry to 2006-07-31, while assigning Added dates
of 2006-07-21 to the new subtags. Thus the dates used by IANA match
neither the dates on the registration requests nor each other. The
File-Date is not required to match the Added date of any individual
record -- an updated Registry might incorporate only changes to existing
records, which would keep their existing Added date -- but I cannot
think of any reason why IANA would have made these changes.
