Language subtag modification request: frr Suppress-Script Latn

[Tex Texin]

Doug, I wasn't question that the subtag be added.
But adding it and then modifying it, seems risky to me as a general rule.
It creates opportunities for the tag to be used and then have its meaning
subtly changed.

I was just offering a way to have the tag added without that risk, in the
context of the rules that we are following.
