There is also the possibility of using qaa ... qtz, which are
private-use subtags for languages, and Qaaa ... Qabx, which are
private-use subtags for scripts, and AA, QM ... QZ, XA ... XZ, ZZ,
which are private-use subtags for regions.

I must admit I'm a bit puzzled at the OP's claim that "there do not
appear to be any variant subtags set aside for private use" when
"Private Use Subtags" shows up right there in the Table of Contents of
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/bcp/bcp47.txt (that bit being from RFC
5646).

Cheers,
Philip
