[semi-OT] ISO 639-3, record-jars, and Boontling

RE: [semi-OT] ISO 639-3, record-jars, and Boontling

639-4 is going to be "a while" in process. N.B. 5 month DIS ballot for 639-3, possible FDIS stage then publication (final editorial phase with ISO central secretariat). Unless activity on -4 suddenly happens at the Berlin metadata event next week, which it might or it might not, I'm not aware of a current timescale for this document beyond ISO time limits (the clock is certainly ticking).

Perhaps Peter Constable can comment on whether existing comments received at CD ballot have resulted in any alteration of the essence of -3, comments on the codes themselves (not part of the published standard) aside.

I fully agree with that. In particular ISO 639-4, which should permits to
make the BCP 047 consistent with ISO 639-3, ISO 639-6 and the IANA entries
- and obviously ISO 3166-2.
