It would, and this has to be our goal, I think. My thinking is that we
should finish the ISO 639 and 3166 PSI sets first, so that we have
examples to show people we contact. Then we can consider what to do
next. Sooner or later I would like to do the Ethnologue.

That may be a useful offer when the time comes.

They are using a database, so I would expect that to be possible, and
quite likely even simple.
