Name changes in ISO 639-2

[Doug Ewell]

While I was apparently not paying attention, a whole slew of name 
changes were posted on the official ISO 639-2 Web site.  All of these 
will likely require the new names to be added to the Registry as 
Description fields.  In some cases, existing names should probably be 
removed, particularly where the word "languages" was added to indicate a 
collection code.

Comments are solicited on exactly what to do about each of these.

In the order they appear on the ISO 639-2 change page:
