No. LTRU is for discussing rules and requirements for items in the 
registry. If you want to have (or not have) specific transliterations, 
that is a registration request and/or policy discussion for ietf-languages.

No. You cannot resubmit a request in this case. You (or anyone, 
including Michael) can submit a new request to modify an existing 
record, subject to the subtag reviewer's approval and the discussion on 
this list.

See RFC 4646, Section 3.5:

--
This procedure MAY also be used to register or alter the information for 
the "Description", "Comments", "Deprecated", or "Prefix" fields in a 
subtag's record as described in Section 3.4 (Stability of IANA Registry 
Entries). Changes to all other fields in the IANA registry are NOT 
permitted.
