Which is/was why, I would assume, there is/was no request to
(incorrectly) include "Latn" in the Prefix for the registrations
for these variant subtags.
Nor is/was there a request to include "Cyrl" in the Prefix in
the registrations for these variant subtags, though they are for
Cyrillic orthographies, since the language subtag "be" already has
"Suppress-Script: Cyrl".

Neither of which have a variant subtag request for them at this time,
but if there were to be one, for either one of these, "be-Latn" (not
just "be") would be the appropriate Prefix to register.
