    Get language name from ISO639-1 code value provided.  If a code is valid use the returned name; if not, then use the value that was provided with the language parameter.
    There is an exception.  There are three ISO639-1 codes for Norewegian language variants.  There are two official variants: Norwegian Bokmål (code 'nb') and
    Norwegian Nynorsk (code 'nn').  The third, code 'no',  is defined by ISO639-1 as 'Norwegian' though in Norway this is pretty much meaningless.  However, it appears
    that on enwiki, editors are for the most part unaware of the nb and nn variants (compare page counts for these variants at Category:Articles with non-English-language external links.
    Because Norwegian Bokmål is the most common language variant, Media wiki has been modified to return Norwegian Bokmål for ISO639-1 code 'no'. Here we undo that and
    return 'Norwegian' when editors use |language=no.  We presume that editors don't know about the variants or can't descriminate between them.

    Syntax defined here: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1034#section-3.5
    BNF defined here: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4234

    rfc952 (modified by rfc 1123) requires the first and last character of a hostname to be a letter or a digit.  Between
    the first and last characters the name may use letters, digits, and the hyphen.
    
    Also allowed are IPv4 addresses. IPv6 not supported
    
    domain is expected to be stripped of any path so that the last character in the last character of the tld.  tld
    is two or more alpha characters.  Any preceding '//' (from splitting a url with a scheme) will be stripped
    here.  Perhaps not necessary but retained incase it is necessary for IPv4 dot decimal.
    
    There are several tests:
    	the first character of the whole domain name including subdomains must be a letter or a digit
    	single-letter/digit second-level domains in the .org TLD
    	q, x, and z SL domains in the .com TLD
    	i and q SL domains in the .net TLD
    	single-letter SL domains in the ccTLDs (where the ccTLD is two letters)
    	two-character SL domains in gTLDs (where the gTLD is two or more letters)
    	three-plus-character SL domains in gTLDs (where the gTLD is two or more letters)

    |script-title= holds title parameters that are not written in Latin based scripts: Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, etc. These scripts should
    not be italicized and may be written right-to-left.  The value supplied by |script-title= is concatenated onto Title after Title has been wrapped
    in italic markup.
    
    Regardless of language, all values provided by |script-title= are wrapped in <bdi>...</bdi> tags to isolate rtl languages from the English left to right.
    
    |script-title= provides a unique feature.  The value in |script-title= may be prefixed with a two-character ISO639-1 language code and a colon:
    	|script-title=ja:*** *** (where * represents a Japanese character)
    Spaces between the two-character code and the colon and the colon and the first script character are allowed:
    	|script-title=ja : *** ***
    	|script-title=ja: *** ***
    	|script-title=ja :*** ***
    Spaces preceding the prefix are allowed: |script-title = ja:*** ***
    
    The prefix is checked for validity.  If it is a valid ISO639-1 language code, the lang attribute (lang="ja") is added to the <bdi> tag so that browsers can
    know the language the tag contains.  This may help the browser render the script more correctly.  If the prefix is invalid, the lang attribute
    is not added.  At this time there is no error message for this condition.

    For Vancouver Style, author/editor names are supposed to be rendered in Latin (read ASCII) characters.  When a name
    uses characters that contain diacritical marks, those characters are to converted to the corresponding Latin character.
    When a name is written using a non-Latin alphabet or logogram, that name is to be transliterated into Latin characters.
    These things are not currently possible in this module so are left to the editor to do.
    
    This test allows |first= and |last= names to contain any of the letters defined in the four Unicode Latin character sets
