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

[Phillips, Addison]

Hi Mark,

You at least have to fill in the form with the proposed record, I believe.

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
