While I agree with Karen that it is a bit of a false choice, I also 
agree with her that it is the identication that it is important, and I 
think that hierarchies is an very important method for identifying 
languges (as is evident for the two encompassed langauges of Norwegian: 
In the RFC, both names begins with the word "Norwegian" => "Norweigan 
Bokmål" and "Norwegian Nynorsk" - despite that the common name amongst 
Norwegians are only "Bokmål" and "Nynorsk".)

(One sentence, right?) ;-)
