The places for airing such concerns are the "ietf-languages@iana.org" mailing list (responsible for extensions like "gaulish"), the ISO 639/Joint Advisory Committee < http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/iso639jac.html>(responsible for codes like "roa"), and the ISO TC37 group, currently in the process of adding thousands of new tags . Professional linguists who are concerned that languages be correctly tagged would be well advised to get involved with these groups. In particular, the ietf-languages@iana.org work is done only by email, so there are no travel costs involved for participation. Mark
