Unifon script?

No, that would mean that it would be appropriate to use this subtag
only in tags of the form "und-Latn-unifon" and not (say) en-unifon or
en-Latn-unifon.  "Prefix:" is syntactic, not semantic.

But in any case, all this hardly matters.  The problem with, say,
"en-Cyrl-unifon" is that it's nonsense, and in general prefixes (other
than those used with macrolanguages) don't attempt to protect us from
nonsense.  They provide guidance of good usage, not a prohibition on
bad usage.
