If these "real implementations" are for identifying and searching 
linguistic content, then I think the proposed S-S values are probably a 
good idea and "support" them (for whatever that's worth).  If they are 
for determining keyboard layouts and font assignments and "binding to 
locale data" — none of which is what the Registry is for, IMHO — then I 
think they are probably not.

Either way, I will do whatever clerk work is needed, though strictly 
speaking, Section 3.5 tends to imply that the requester should bear much 
of the brunt.
