The list of language system tags on the Microsoft site:

http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/languagetags.htm

includes:

   Corsican    COS    cos

However, this entry is missing in the ISO Open Font Format standards
(2nd edition, Amendment 2 and latest CD).  As far as I can tell, "cos"
is still a perfectly good ISO 639-2 and ISO 639-3 language code, so I
wondered whether this omission was an error.

Also in Amendment 2, ZHH is described as "Chinese, Hong Kong SAR", but
in the last CD, it is described simply as "Chinese".
