Before this, the only similar subtags I know of are de-1901 and 
de-1996, used for the German orthography before and after the 1996 
spelling reform.  One difference then is that the German subtags 
only mention the year, and not the source of authority (Academy or 
other).  Has fr-1694 (and fr-1606) been considered as an 
alternative to fr-1694acad (and fr-1606nict) and what are the 
arguments for and against including "acad" (and nict) in the 
subtag?

Let me emphasize that I have no opinion with regards to the French 
language.  I'm just observing and learning how this 
standardization process evolves, so that I can understand it if 
and when it were to be used for Scandinavian languages.
