[lojban] Re: language codes was: So what do we say for Swedish?

[symuyn <rbysamppi@gmail.com>]

Small questions:

1. For language fu'ivla, which part of ISO 639 is being used: 639-2 or
639-3? (I prefer 639-3, since it's basically the same as 639-2 except
more robust.)

2. For country fu'ivla, why would using ISO 3166-2 (three-letter
codes) be worse than 3166-1 (two-letter codes)? The three-letter
codes:
  A. Resemble their autonyms more
  B. Are more future-robust
  C. Would have the same algorithm as the languages, except for the n/
g exception (I think).
