In that regard: Do you think that it is possible that extlang in 
itself could be misperceived by ISO? Could the ISO think that LTRU 
*wants* them to define Macrolanguaes, which then would become 
extlang tagged - or something like that? Or, could ISO begin 
wanting to interfer with this group, or perhaps refrain from 
defining macrolanguages, picking other methods for grouping 
languages, because they don't like the extlang tagging that it 
leads to?
