So perhaps txi-sr.tex should be renamed [email protected]. AFAIU, the Cyrillic script is the official script for Serbian, so indeed the default for sr should be Cyrillic. Similarly for other such languages: one script is always the default, sometimes derived from official documents and sometimes a de-facto standard. And in those cases where there's no standard, both designators should have the modifier to indicate the script they use.
