Quite.
I see no benefit in our being particularly restrictive in what counts as a 
language, for purposes of dispensing language codes.  I see the main 
relevent questions as: "Is it better designated with an existing tag?" and 
"Would this proposed tag lead to confusion of some sort?".

(Then there's just corrolaries like "we consider mere scripts and 
programming languages outside the domain of language tags", so that we'd 
reject i-braille, i-shorthnd-gregg, i-sql, i-pascal, etc.)

But (if I want to get all legalistic and argue by precedent) Klingon and 
Afrihili have language tags, so why not Enochian?
