Proposed record and registration form for 'sh'

[Doug Ewell]

Here's the currently proposed record and registration form for 'sh' as I 
understand it.  The intent of the line "Deprecated: (remove)" in the 
registration form should be obvious.

Please review these by Friday, September 4.  After this point they may 
be submitted to IANA.  In all likelihood, the 'djk' variants will be 
submitted at the same time.

6. Any other relevant information:

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