"Scope" means "individual language or macrolanguage".  You can
deduce from the registry which are which; a macrolanguage is one
that appears as the Prefix of some extlangs.

But I'm not against including this information at all.

[T]here is a Darwinian explanation for the refusal to accept Darwin.
Given the very pessimistic conclusions about moral purpose to which his
theory drives us, and given the importance of a sense of moral purpose
in helping us cope with life, a refusal to believe Darwin's theory may
have important survival value. --Ian Johnston
