LANGUAGE SUBTAG MODIFICATION REQUEST - zxx

[CE Whitehead]

Is it your opinion that indicating any script subtag (we must use [zxx] if we are to tag these languages properly I understand; [zxx] now means a bit more; it can be used any case a language tag is not applicable) for programming languages would violate RFC 4646 insistence that tagging is primarily to indicate natural/human language???  Thus it's not o.k. in any way to indicate the script of programmatic languages?

Thanks for clarifying this.
