It is not necessarily non-conformant. I could define a field as follows: - if it has 4 characters and no hyphen, it means X - otherwise it is interpreted as a BCP 47 language tag. That is perfectly conformant usage of BCP 47, and would work with the current spec. The disadvantage is that if BCP47 ever uses 4-letter base language codes, then you can't represent the full range of BCP47 at that point. So you definitely take a risk in using such a definition in terms of future compatibility, but such a definition is not non-conformant.
