 the "fa" in the standard as is defined by the 639 standard represents 
the local phonetic pronunciation of the language as is defined via the 
IPA (international phonetic alphabet) 

I don't think this in any way infers that they accept Farsi as being 
representative of the language spoken by Iranians, however this is 
up for debate, the point I was trying to make is what "fa" really means 
in the 639 standard.
