I hope there is no expectation that this "usage note," whenever the RAs 
approve and publish it, needs to be copied to the Language Subtag Registry. 
I am already waiting for the online ISO 639-2 code lists to be updated (and 
only for that) before submitting a change request for the Registry for 
"mis".  Any further elaboration on this very, very edge-case subtag needs to 
reside in RFC 4646bis and not within the Registry.
