I would prefer "orthography" over "alphabet" in this context, since "Latin 
alphabet" means specifically the set of letters used to write the Latin 
language.

An orthography is a set of writing conventions specific to a given language, 
including alphabet and spelling rules and hyphenation choices and so forth, 
and that is usually what we are trying to indicate with this type of variant 
subtag.
