It ('sc') is a Macrolanguage code though, which means it encompasses
several specific Sardinian languages, see
http://sil.org/iso639-3/codes.asp?order=reference_name&letter=s
Which of the listed Sardinian languages are we talking about?
sro Sardinian, Campidanese
sdn Sardinian, Gallurese
src Sardinian, Logudorese
sdc Sardinian, Sassarese
And what would a plain 'sc' or 'srd' if encountered most likely map to?
However, 'sc' is the Calc spreadsheet application (just kidding ;-)
anyway, a native-lang domain sc.oo.o could not be used.

Yes.

No problem, I assign IDs in the user space if MS didn't.

No, locale data and spell-checker are independent from each other.

Once we clarified the "which Sardinian" mentioned above, yes, please.
Did you already send a signed SCA? See
