Only if you want usage without the script subtag (like "mww-pahawh2") to
be considered less "suitable" or "appropriate" than "mww-Hmng-pahawh2"
(Section 2.2.5).

Using these variants for Latin-script content would be at least silly,
maybe stupid, and probably not something we need to bother legislating
against.
