I'd be resistant to 4-letter primary language subtags. I have made derivative use of BCP 47 tag syntax with the modification that the only obligatory subtag is the script subtag. Introducing different 4-letter subtags within BCP 47 syntax would create conflicts with this or other similar derivative uses of our language tag syntax.
