True, and if a standardised Dinka is formalised then an approprian
unspecified variety of Dinka not covered by the current ISO-639-3
codes". I'm not suggesting "din" be used for a standardised or common
Dinka. Just at the moment things are heading in the development of a
standardised Dinka (if that ever actually happens). At which time a
more appropriate subtag may be put forward.

if that makes sense.
