[Foundation-l] languages with INVENTED codes

In my view Wikimedia should use standards. Where a language lacks a  
639 code (and 639-3 is pretty robust) mechanisms exist which are NOT  
draconian and overly time-consuming to add either formal codes or  
formal subtags which CAN be used and which conform to standards.

If Wikimedia does anything else than follows standards in this area, I  
think there ought to be a VERY VERY good reason why.
