I found the following Descriptions with comma:

Inversions (should be uninverted):

I independently came up with the same list as Kent, and (unsurprisingly) agree with it.

(At least two of those could use a shorter, more commonly used, name...)

That's not my role as editor of 4645bis. Someone can always go to ietf-languages and request registration of, say, just plain "Iran" or just plain "Tanzania."

Unclear (maybe just remove the comma, or uninvert both):

Description: Cuneiform, Sumero-Akkadian <--- but compare Description: Cuneiform Luwian

The first is a script; the second is a language. I can't make any assumption as to whether the usage of "Cuneiform" is parallel in these two names. I think it would be maximally consistent to uninvert "Cuneiform, Sumero-Akkadian" and leave "Cuneiform Luwian" alone.

The following are not inversions:

I agree, and believe that the uninverting exercise should not extend to the descriptions of variant subtags and grandfathered and redundant tags, which were requested and registered on ietf-languages and did not come from external standards.
