Yes, it would be easy to reconstruct a "frozen" (2006) 3066 registry.

But I guess Scott's protocol tries to pretend that 3066 still exists,
i.e. new country codes like IM GG JE are okay, new 639-2 languages
like frr frs are okay, old redundant and grandfathered tags are okay,
while scripts, variants, 639-3 languages, and extlangs are NOT okay.

Personally I'd prefer "4646 registry minus scripts" (or similar) for
this purpose, but Scott said it's intentionally 3066.
