Peter:
This looks wonderful. Very useful. Since it duplicates the information on
the ISO 639-2 site (and adds a lot more) at some point in the future it
might make sense to think about having only one place to go. Having a
database behind it is surely more efficient than hand correcting as we
do. We can have this discussion later after part 3 is approved and we get
a sense of how the standards will work together. We'll need to think about
the implications but will want to consider this later on.
