I find this unconvincing.

Such reasoning effectively forbids about every meaningful and short 
description of language variant/lingual norm etc.
Lots of those were codified in academies, and lots of those are 
distinguishable only by year-stamp, as far as the external observer is 
concerned. What of that? It's only the *sub*-tag, it has *no* meaning 
per se, without its main tag. Nor is it intended to be used separately, 
as far as I understand.

Even something like bel1959 or 1959by would be more sensible than this.
