Whate are you referring to? I am not aware that IETF requested any promises from ISO wrt descriptions.

SIL's pages in relation to this entry in ISO 639-3 are not wrong wrt ISO 639. I cannot comment generally on whether that info is considered appropriate in relation to some application of ISO 639; that is entirely beyond the scope of ISO 639.
