If alpha-2 and alpha-3 IDs are deprecated and the dates are the same and they pertain to the same item, then I think it would be OK to combine them in a single entry. If the dates are different, or (obviously) if they are for different languages, separate entries should be used, IMO. In this particular case, then, the only question in my mind is what date "jw" was first publicly stated to be an error. Peter Constable
