It's coded in 639-3 as VEC, so the only issue is whether it satisfies the criteria for inclusion in 639-2, not whether it warrants coding as a distinct language. The request doesn't include any information wrt the 50 doc criterion, so you could respond by pointing out that requirement.

We have seen this request before. I need to look back at our previous discussions (I was having trouble getting into the ISOJAC archive just now). Do we have any further discussion?
