Could somebody explain why BCP 47 mentions ISO 639-3 only twice as something that might someday become relevant, and the current discussants about Norwegian don't mention ISO 639-3? My impression has been that ISO 639-3 is being increasingly adopted for structured data as the usual basis for interoperable language reference and the persistence of ISO 639-1 codes in any standards that intend to be inclusive of the world's languages is a temporary inconvenience due to backward compatibility. If my impression is wrong, I'd be grateful for a correction. Thanks.
