As the Dutch spelling will change in August 2006, we added things like spelling authorities.
Great, then you can introduce a new authority for every century of a language, so the 19th century Swedish can be told apart from 20th century Swedish. But how are spelling authorities different from languages? Couldn't "19th century Swedish" and "Dutch after 2006" be treated as languages of their own?
