Thanks, this would be fine with me too;
I brought up the Creoles in case someone had a need to encode one that was 
mixed in with a modern language--which is possible; so I wanted us to at 
least think that these might possibly be included in a macrolanguage or a 
language collection too.

(In fact, someone at this group wrote me long ago to say that eventually we 
would get macro languages or language collections that would encompass the 
historical varieties, the creoles, whatever.)

But it's fine to ask about one at a time, so long as we know we may have to 
consider the other too.
