I share Addison's concerns with using the 3166-2 codes. Many of these will be redundant with the ISO 639-3 codes, though this one is not.

However, it is not permitted for registration. The shortest variant is 4
characters (if it starts with a digit) or 5 (if with a letter). We can't
register ISO 3166-2 codes anyway: they would conflict with extlang.
