As Peter said, 'Zinh' was added for the benefit of Unicode, not for BCP 
47 or any other IETF work.  It has been stated many, many times in this 
thread that 'Zinh' is essentially useless for BCP 47.

So if you wish to criticize ISO 15924/RA and/or Unicode for the 
existence of 'Zinh', that is up to you, but BCP 47 should not be your 
target and ietf-languages should not be your venue.
