A procedural question:
Suppose (just hypothetically) that I want to tag some documents that are in
(Louisiana) Cajun French. Not Louisiana French Creole (the other end of
the dialect continuum), but Cajun.
A fairly obvious tag choice is "fr-us-la".
My question is: I don't think that that /has/ to be registered with
IANA. But /can/ it be registered?
I'm under the impression that besides establishing i-foo tags, the IANA
language tag registry also has some (possibly "secondary") role as a place
to say "among all the possible ways that you might imagine to express a
language tag for Cajun, this is the one that we think people should use."
But I emphasize that this is just an impression on my part.
