A case where it would be not ideal:  If gsw-alsatian is
also used on the other side of the Rhine, then it is not
clear to use gsw-FR for "alsatian as spoken in DE". (*1) 

Opposite case:  gsw-CH is a broad tag, taggers could try
to use gsw-FR for "gsw-CH as used in regions of CH where
French is the predominant language".  

The variant alsatian is clearer than gsw-FR workarounds.
