O.k., if you are saying that if Chakavian is currently tagged as Croatian, then it should ultimately be tagged as a variant of Croatian, whatever Croatian is classified as a macro-language of, then I get the gist of what you are saying and I agree.
(But of course, if on the other hand Chakavian content turns out to be tagged not as Croatian but as [sh] then it should perhaps be tagged as another language which like Croatian is in the [sh] family.)

Thanks for your many replies, and for your reiteration of what macro-languages are (in your other email).
