Um... what about my contention that parts 2 and 3 are synchronized? I assume that an addition to 639-2 would automatically also be added to 639-3, no?

Um... what about my contention that parts 2 and 3 are synchronized? I assume that an addition to 639-2 would automatically also be added to 639-3, no?

It seems unlikely that we'll discover that many unknown languages that merit a 639-1 code, so this sounds sensible, as any future additions to 639-1 will probably be covered by the rule prohibiting assignments that match existing three letter codes.
