Description Michael[tm] Smith 2009-11-22 06:07:14 CET

Each record in the IANA language registry that's marked Deprecated also has a corresponding Preferred-Value field to indicate what language subtag should be used instead of the deprecated one.

When v.nu reports particular subtags as deprecated, it would be useful if it also reported what the preferred values are; e.g., "The language subtag mo is deprecated. Use ro instead."
