New variant subtags for Serbian language

[Yury Tarasievich]

Yes, yes, you may get lots of (spoken) dialects 
in a language area, dividing up the territory 
between themselves, all of them nicely studied 
and shelved by now, and then you may get a 
literary norm (or even lots of those) which is 
(usually) an amalgam of said dialects, having 
set of grammar superimposed.

I mean, should the dialects labelled on par with 
the literary norms, or should there be some 
special recognition codes, rules for subtag 
sequences or something else of the kind?

I'm asking because in the previous discussion I 
saw several references to "standard" language 
which shouldn't be (or can't be?) 
classified/branded by a dialectal features, like 
*kavian or anything, only by the norm-setting 
name/year/body.
