Just to clarify something, in case anyone isn't familiar or doesn't remember: note that the tag "zh-yue" was not proposed because a scheme based on 639-3 macrolanguages was anticipated. Rather, this and other tags were registered several years before the notion of macrolanguages was first considered for 639-3. In fact, the other way around: it was this and other similar registered language tags that led to the idea of macrolanguages for 639-3.
