You think, perhaps, but linguists would beg to differ.
The differences between Indonesian and Malay are mostly on the level
of US vs UK differences -- minor differences of spelling, a few dozen
different words...
But even most reasonable Indonesians do not believe that they truly
speak a different language than Malaysians.
Are there any _true_ differences between the languages?
I think a particularly telling proof is that if I copy the text of an
article from the Malay WP and run it through an Indonesian
spellchecker, there are 0 mistakes. Hmm.

There is significant difference between Indonesian and
Malay language I think.
Also there is no Malay wikisource subdomain right now.

Here I find a second issue:
I think that Indonesian and Malay meet an equal threshhold to
Serbocroatian, except that they don't have the same level of emotions
attached.
So, I think there should be a single Malay and Indonesian WS.
