In the LSR we have

%%
Type: language
Subtag: id
Description: Indonesian
Added: 2005-10-16
Suppress-Script: Latn
Macrolanguage: ms
%%

"ms" was one of the macrolanguage codes that were selected to be an extlang
prefix.
So we have a bunch of entries like:

%%
Type: extlang
Subtag: coa
Description: Cocos Islands Malay
Added: 2009-07-29
Preferred-Value: coa
Prefix: ms
Macrolanguage: ms
%%

Indeed we have that for all of the languages "covered by" 'ms', *except* for
Indonesian. So I would have expected an entry like this:

%%
Type: extlang
Subtag: ind
Description: Indonesian
Added: 2009-07-29
Preferred-Value: id
Prefix: ms
Macrolanguage: ms
%%

But there is no such entry. Was this one excluded for some reason, or is
this an
omission by mistake? I don't seem to find any mention of this point in RFC
5645...
