[tei-council] CH and BCP 47 again

[Martin Holmes]

If we were to tag it, we'd have to make a decision about what the script 
was. There is this:

Type: variant
Subtag: fonipa
Description: International Phonetic Alphabet
Added: 2006-12-11

but most of those items aren't IPA. I'd say it'll be more trouble than 
it's worth.

Cheers,
Martin
