ISO 639 contains much other information about the use of language symbols, registration of new symbols, etc. The language codes of ISO 639 are said to be "devised primarily for use in terminology, lexicography and linguistics, but they may be used for any application requiring the expression of languages in coded form."

The ISO is a non-governmental organization and was established in 1947.
It is a wordplay based on the English initials and the Greek word isos, meaning ``equal'', which is the root of the prefix ``iso-'' that occurs in a host of terms, such as ``isometric'' (of equal measure or dimensions).
the ISO definition of the week numbers is that the first day (day number 1) of a week is Monday and that the first week in a year (week number 1) is the week that includes the first Thursday in January, i.e.

 International Standards   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
While the ISO defines itself as a non-governmental organization, its ability to set standards which often become law through treaties or national standards makes it more powerful than most NGOs, and in practice it acts as a consortium with strong links to governments.
Aside from standards, ISO also creates Technical Reports for documents that cannot or should not become International Standards such as references, explanations, etc. The naming conventions for these are the same as for standards with the exception of having TR prepended in the place of IS in the standard's name.
ISO International Standards are not in any way binding on either governments or industry merely by virtue of being International Standards.

A "vocabulary" is defined by ISO 1087-1 as a "terminological dictionary which contains designations and definitions from one or more specific subject fields".
For example, ISO/IEC 5218, Information technology -- Codes for the representation of human sexes, specifies a *value domain* (of human sex codes) consisting of four permissible values {0, 1, 2, 9} and their corresponding value meanings ("not known", "male", "female", "not specified"}.
Both ISO 704 and ISO 5964 are used to develop terms (including coining terms) and to harmonize definitions.

Yes indeed, which is possibly a bit of a problem for some TEI users, as they may well be interested in calendars other than the Gregorian, which is all that ISO 8601 purports to represent.
The reason sex= is supposed to be a normalized value is because the TEI has decided it would be a useful thing.
If TEI (i.e., us, right here, right now) decide that it is not so useful to normalize against ISO 5218, that's fine.
