Variant subtag proposal: ALA-LC romanization of Russian

[Phillips, Addison]

I’m not saying that ALA-LC97 itself is generic. I’m suggesting that it could be registered in a generic way to avoid Prefixing issues. Once an item has a prefix, it cannot be removed (only broadened).

Internationalization is not a feature.
It is an architecture.

alalc97 isn't "generic". It is specific to a single volume containing a number of language-specific romanizations. It's precise.
