Hmong orthographies

[Doug Ewell]

In that case, I recommend leaving the script subtag out of the Prefix,
so users aren't led to believe (rightly or wrongly) they need to include
this redundant subtag just to be compliant.

OK, put it this way. There is no instance of pahawh2 that uses a script
OTHER than Hmng. What tagging should be recommended? Hmng is essentially
redundant here.
