PROPOSAL: Remove Deprecation on "sh" in the IANA subtag registry

[Mark Davis ⌛]

There is an anomaly in the upcoming registry. The ISO 639-3 code
corresponding to 'sh' is not deprecated, it is an ordinary macrolanguage
like many ('no', 'zh', 'ar',...)

http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/documentation.asp?id=hbs

Yet in the registry, we have 'sh' as Deprecated. The new version of BCP 47
follows the status of languages in ISO 639-3, and for consistency "sh"
should not be deprecated. (From a usage standpoint, the code "sh" is also as
useful as any other macrolanguage.)

I request the change in status.

Mark
