I think the Comments field is way too long. I also think that the 
Description is too long. The language subtag registry need not contain 
such encyclopedic information. All that is necessary is enough 
information to identify what is meant.

How about:

Description: Unified Turkic Latin Alphabet
Comments: Latin orthography used in the Soviet Union in the 1930s
    for writing Turkic languages. Also called New Turkic Alphabet;
    Birlәşdirilmiş Jeni; Türk
    Әlifbasь; or Jaŋalif

Internationalization is an architecture.
It is not a feature.
