ACK, at least 639-3 tries to document what it's about
with links to Ethnologue.  For ISO 639-2 I don't know
where they store related info to figure this out...

...okay.  Last year they cleaned it up, fri => fry.

But they "forgot" stq => frs, or based on what John
said, they invented a new meaning for "frs" as nds-
dialect, or "frs" was always meant to be said dialect
and ISO 639-2 forgot the real third Frisian language.
