Frankly, 'mis' will receive more attention thanks to this paragraph of 
anti-mis vitriol than it has in its whole history (which probably 
stretches back before that of BCP 47). I have no problem recommending 
against it, but find the reasoning behind it a bit strained. Really the 
recommendation probably should be: "don't use 'mis' because really 
nearly every language is 'coded' and ISO 639 RA stands ready to fix any 
omissions"

Meanwhile people with restricted language tag sets are only semi-hosed. 
The mustard says "SHOULD NOT" and those folks can read that as "MAY" 
(provided they are armed with a good reason).

Can we let the sleeping subtag lie? :-).
