Just about all languages are written in other scripts occasionally,
primarily when the context is a portion of one language transcribed into the
language of a containing document.
If the ability to handle that situation is deemed desirable then a doing so
through the current mechanisms provided by RFC3066 will probably prove
impractical, or at the very least require a new convention for the tagging
that would require a revision to make official.
