  I would also be interested in subtags to describe specific
orthographical variants of Latin.  I have a use case of an application
with three such variants: one where ‘u’ is used as both a vowel and a
consonant (and ‘v’ is thus not used at all); one where ‘ae’ and ‘oe’ are
rendered as ‘æ’ and ‘œ’ respectively, and one that uses ‘u’, ‘v’, ‘ae’,
and ‘oe’.  I’m happy to submit forms for these, although I am have no
idea what the subtag could be called.
