An additional procedural point:

If ISO 639 does reject this request, and you decide to register a
language subtag in accordance with Section 3.6, it MUST be five to eight
letters long.  See Section 2.1 (ABNF) and Section 2.2.1, item 5. 
Neither 'mac' nor 'zgh' nor any other three-letter value is permissible
for a language subtag not based on ISO 639.
