As you can see from looking at the Registry, the "'western' generic 
variant" didn't materialize.  It was deemed too broad, and so instead we 
have "arevmda" and "arevela" which apply specifically to Armenian. 
"Western" and "Eastern" mean very different things depending on the 
language those words modify.

When an ISO agency changes the Description but keeps the same code 
element, they are expressing their view that the entity being coded is 
the same.  We reflect that view in standards-based subtags.
