Assuming that Björn's draft is not merely "a couple of rough notes on
possible variant subtag registrations," but an actual effort to register
the subtags, I've distilled it below into 12 sets of proposed records
and registration forms so that we can start the review clock.

Forms appear in alphabetical order by subtag value, and on-list
suggestions (description for 'syltring' and analogously for 'amring',
appropriate replacement of 'oe' and 'ue') and corrections (misspelled
name of dialect in description for 'wieding') have been incorporated. 
Please send any additional comments to the list.

   Type: variant
   Subtag: amring
   Description: The Öömrang (Amring) dialect of North Frisian

4. Intended meaning of the subtag:

   The Öömrang (Amring) dialect of North Frisian.

5. Reference to published description
   of the language (book or article):

6. Any other relevant information:

   Öömrang is the dialect associated with the island Amrum on the
   German North Sea coast.  Together with Fering it is considered one of
   the ten main dialects and belongs to the insular group of dialects.
   "Amring" is an alternate name for the dialect that is becoming
   obsolete; it has been chosen as subtag as the proper name contains
   characters not permitted in subtags, the transliteration is too long,
   and "Amrumer" would make the naming inconsistent with the closely
   related Fering dialect.

   are either ambiguous or contain characters not allowed in subtags.
