I thought we had resolved the issues with Bihari and Himachali some time
ago. We were going to treat them as collective entities. Himachali
would be equivalent to Western Pahari. The only peculiarity for Bihari
is that it is included in ISO639-1 which doesn't include collective
terms.

We also have consistency issues for him (Himachali) and bih (Bihari):
in preparing the draft tables for 639-3, it was assumed that these would
be changed to collections. I presented that proposal to the JAC in my
Issues to Resolve doc, but there was never any specific JAC action. Now
the 639-3 site presents these as collections but they are still
presented in 639-2 as individual languages and are not included in
639-5.

These three inconsistencies need to be resolved ASAP. I propose that
all three be considered collections, and that the 639-2 and 639-5 tables
be updated accordingly.
