For those of you who don't know, ISO 639-3 is the international
standard for three letter codes representing the world's known
languages. After the standard having suffering from inertia for
several years, SIL has taken over maintenance and updating and has
been quite responsive to requests for additions, changes, and
removals. If you know of a language that needs its code or name
adjusted, now's a good time to get in touch with them.

Cheers,
James
