The submission is fine, and in principle I don't have any problem with any of these.  In particular, both the research and the attention to detail in filling out the forms look great.

Technically, there should be no problem with this.  Suppress-Script is intended to discourage people from writing (or searching for) "xx-Yyyy" and having pre-RFC 4646 systems not match it with plain "xx", in cases where the subtag 'xx' has widespread legacy use and there is a reasonable likelihood that people might actually do this.

While this may be the case for Romansh, it is never required to register the Suppress-Script, and registering it for Romansh should not be seen as a precedent to request registration of Suppress-Script for dozens of other language subtags.
