Registration forms and records for recent ISO-based changes

At last, here are the proposed records and registration forms for
changes to the Language Subtag Registry that are based on recent updates
to ISO 639-3 (40 changes), ISO 3166-1 (one change), and ISO 15924 (three
changes).  These are posted for a two-week review period as per BCP 47.

Because of the number of records and forms, I am splitting them up into
six separate e-mails (to follow).  The ISO 639-3 changes will be
organized according to their headings in the 2010 "Summary of Outcomes"
document:

- Retirements from other than normal split of a language code element
- Retirements and creations from code element splits
- Entirely new code elements
- Updates: Name, Scope, Macrolanguage membership, Denotation changes

The 3166-1 and 15924 changes will appear in separate e-mails.  This is
intended to make the amount of review material more manageable for those
who might want to review only part of the data.

Please send any corrections, comments, and questions to this list.

Hex escape sequences in records and forms

Today's batch of records and registration forms includes some
Description fields with hex escape sequences, like this:

K&#x25B;l&#x25B;ngaxo Bozo

These were left in place intentionally for reviewing purposes,
especially for people reading the digest or whose own mailers might
garble non-ASCII characters.  It's hard to tell whether the name is
right if all you can see is "K?l?ngaxo Bozo".  When the paperwork is
sent to IANA, the correct UTF-8 characters will be used.

I want to thank Doug for diligently working to prepare all these forms. It is quite a thankless task, and
so.... THANK YOU!

+1, as Michael does not want us to say.  Or in plain English, "Agreed.
