I believe so and I regret that "mis" takes so much energy. IMHO, it is
just a detail (I agree with Doug Ewell's "Type I vs. Type II errors"
message).

Most are either actually closed (I do not think that there are still
serious proposals to use UTF-8 in the registry: even if I regret it,
it seems settled) or only details (additional information related to
Suppress-Script).

And probably the only serious one. But, on the other hand, I want to
emphasize that ISO 639-3 was issued in february, that some users want
the new language codes now and that any delay in the release of the
RFC undermines the whole language tag effort.
