On seeing the proposal I made the same general conclusion as Rebecca has
expressed so well. So I am mainly in favour of denying.

Subject: Re: New ISO 639-1 identifier ? - Hawaiian


We go back to the question about the relationship between ISO 639-1 and
639-2. Our principles say:

"New codes will no longer be added to ISO 639-1 after the publication of a
revised standard unless they are also added to ISO 639-2." 

"A language code already in ISO 639-2 at the point of freezing ISO 639-1
shall not later be added to ISO 639-1. This is to ensure consistency in
usage over time, since users are directed in Internet applications to
employ the alpha-3 code when an alpha-2 code for that language is not
available."

The question is, do we consider the revision of 639-1 published? Certainly
it's been ballotted. Is this the point at which we no longer add 639-1
codes? Remember, this is because of the RFC which says that in absence of
a 639-1 code, use a 639-2 code. If anyone has used Hawaiian they will have
already used the 639-2 code to represent that language.

Maybe their programmers are unaware of RFC 3066 which instructs you to use
the alpha-3 code if there's no alpha-2 code.
