I was checking language names from http://www.rtt.org/ISO/TC37/SC2/WG1/639/ISO-FDIS-639-1.pdf for the Dutch Wikipedia, and there I noticed there is an error in the general file: su: is given as "Sudanese", this should be "Sundanese".
Confirmed in http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html#st, http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/tei/iso639.html and elsewhere.
However I find also in http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/IG/ert/iso639.htm: sun su Sudanese
This looks like a typo in w3's copy... which of course a lot of people are going to find and take as authoritative. Sigh...
I have corrected it in nl:, but I am not sure whether I am supposed to do so in en: and other languages as well, so I will ask someone else to do that instead.
Sure, go ahead.
