I am concerned about overlap with the official 639-2 site that we have up at the Library of Congress. We would like to continue to maintain it there. Since we all know that the 639-2 list will be growing more rapidly than the 639-1 list and LC is the maintenance agency for it, we need to have some control over it. Thus, I think your idea of just having links would be the best at this point. I would still consider the persistent identifier to be those at LOC site, since it's been propagated far and wide.
