Questions on ISO 639-3

[CE Whitehead]

Hi! 
I think what Kent is saying here has some merit; but for Moldavian, it seems that if someone wants to identify the differences between spoken Moldavian and Romanian, a variant subtag would be an option. . . & that's all this list can offer, too, in this matter (as far as I understand things).   There is no need to identify the written differences.
 
 
Sincerely,
 
C. E. Whitehead
