> Throughout 4646bis-10 there is confusion between "registration authority",
> "maintenance authority", "maintenance agency", and "maintaining authority".
> Technically, in ISO a registration authority has discretion to choose
> which code elements it registers and which it does not, whereas a maintenance
> agency tracks what other organizations do.  ISO 639 has registration
> authorities, and ISO 15942 has one; but ISO 3166 has a maintenance agency,
> because it can only register the countries that UNSD assigns numerical codes to.

This whole of corrections didn't make it into -11:

> I think these are all the affected places:

[2.2.1 correction omitted, per Peter's objection]

2.2.3: s/maintenance agency/registration authority/.

2.2.6 (6):  s/maintaining authority/registration authority/ (for extensions)

3.4 (13): s/maintenance or registration authority/registration authority or maintenance agency/

3.4 (14) (B):  for "ISO 639 maintenance agency/registration authority (MA/RA) has"
read "The ISO 639 registration authorities have".

3.4 (15): s/registration authority for ISO 3166/maintenance agency for ISO 3166/.

3.6: s/maintenance agency/registration authority/ for all 639-* standards.

3.7: s/maintaining or registering authority/registration authority/.  Follow
this sentence with a parenthetical sentence saying:

	(For this purpose, the term "registration authority" includes
	maintenance agencies.)

3.7: s/maintaining authority/registration authority/ (several places).

5.2: s/maintaining authority/registration authority/ (2 places).

All Gaul is divided into three parts: the part          John Cowan
that cooks with lard and goose fat, the part            http://ccil.org/~cowan
that cooks with olive oil, and the part that            cowan@ccil.org
cooks with butter. -- David Chessler
