I think it's fine to apply for the prefix field containing [sr] at this point. Can't more prefixes be added later?
The following is from RFC 5646, section 3.8

   "If a record includes no 'Prefix' field, a 'Prefix' field MUST NOT be
   added to the record at a later date.  Otherwise, changes (additions,
   deletions, or modifications) to the set of 'Prefix' fields MAY be
   registered, as long as they strictly widen the range of language tags
   that are recommended. "(http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5646#section-3.1.8) 

Thanks!

Best,
