I also agree with Randy that a private-use tag would be a much better choice 
than "mis" for tagging content in a language with no available subtag, 
either because the Registry doesn't have one or in the case of a non-BCP 47 
application that uses a subset of the full Registry.

If I want to tag text in Unilingua (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Unilingua) 
you can bet I'll use "x-mirad" or something similar long before I use the 
completely uninformative "mis".
