I believe the answer was stated. We're applying for a tag for Chinese Hanyu Pinyin and Wade-Giles romanizations. That cannot be done with prefixes of cmn or zh-cmn according to RFC 4646, which is the current specification in force for the IANA language subtag registry. If and when RFC4646bis passes, we would then register cmn or zh-cmn also as a prefix, but given the rate of progress so far, that is in the indefinite future, perhaps never. Those would be specifically Mandarin romanizations as opposed to Chinese romanizations. In any event, it is certainly well-defined, meaningful, and legitimate to register "pinyin" and "wadegile" with the prefix "zh-Latn", as meaning "Chinese momanizations"; they certainly exist and are in widespread usage.
