[BA] As you say, it does appear that the rule is being followed. But perhaps we can find an expert to confirm this.

[BA] Yes.

RFC 5646 clearly says that it is allowed to use even suppressed script subtags when its use has an important discriminating meaning. (Section 4.1 of RFC 5646 says:

[BA] It seems like an important point to clarify.  Let me try to figure out how we can get expert consultation.
