Since almost all 639-2 languages are written, and since the great preponderance
of those are written in just one script (things like Braille and IPA aside),
that means that, indeed, almost all languages will require the default-script
field to be populated.

Addison's proposal involves populating only those languages customarily
written in two or more scripts.  This is much easier to deal with logistically.
