Re: [Ltru] Preferred Values for Irregular Tags

BTW:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/lang-tags/i-mingo
http://www.iana.org/assignments/lang-tags/zh-min
http://www.iana.org/assignments/lang-tags/cel-gaulish

For zh-min, nan might be the best choice:

%%

Type: grandfathered
Tag: zh-min
Description: Min, Fuzhou, Hokkien, Amoy, or Taiwanese
Added: 1999-12-18
Deprecated: 2029-09-09

%%
Type: grandfathered
Tag: zh-min-nan
Description: Minnan, Hokkien, Amoy, Taiwanese, Southern Min, Southern Fujian, Hoklo, Southern Fukien, Ho-lo
Added: 2001-03-26
Preferred-Value: nan

cel-gaulish

 it looks like this was intended to be what the ethnologue calls Brythonic:

http://www.ethnologue.com/show_family.asp?subid=92090

So we would need a new code, or ask ISO to add one. (Having codes for the families in the Ethnologue would be pretty handy; many exist, but many don't.)

That would allow us to only have to deal with irregular codes on input, and then never again have to handle them -- which would be a very useful simplification.
