Good! A part from opposing the charter, it definitly deprecates this WG proposition. This clarifies the issue.FYI there are three international standardisation organisations, where ISO if for everything but Electricity and Communications. We will therefore be able to resort to ITU standards.
Language subtags can be registered in the unlikely event that the various flavors of ISO 639 completely miss a language. Variant subtags can be registered to capture scripts or regions that are inexplicably not covered by ISO 15924, ISO 3166, or UN M.49.
Most of the used charsets (sorry, "scripts") in use and part of the Internet world are not documented by ISO 19524.
