[mpeg-OTspec] script tags update

[Peter Constable]

I don’t recall seeing any recent requests to new language system tags.

Btw, I still favour a convention that sanctions anything in ISO 639-3 being used without requiring explicit registration as a language system tag, with the convention done in a way that effectively puts those into a reserved tag subspace (e.g. “6” + alpha3) to guarantee no conflict with any other registered tags.

Peter, any language system tag updates for multiple languages associated with these new scripts?

Vlad, and others:

In anticipation of Unicode 9, we’ve updated the table of script tags in the OpenType Layout tag registry with Unicode 9 additions. Also, somehow we had overlooked updating that page last year for Unicode 8, so those additional script tags got added as well. The page is now completely up to date for Unicode 9.

It would be good to have these reflected in the next update to 14496-22. I wouldn’t expect any inconsistencies between this and what is currently in 14496-22, but please take a look and let me know if you see any issues.


Thanks
