I will pass this along. I don't see the point of your other HTML
suggestions; some of the tags are unfamiliar to me and probably to my
editor and browser anyway.

The RA-JAC agreed a mechanism to ensure that there will be no overlap of
2-letter and 3-letter codes. It is a cutoff date and precedence rule; I'm
not sure if it's been cast in resolutionese yet or not. It's dependent on
the finalization of the revision of 639-1.
