Just for the record.  

Suppress-Script is NOT a kludge.  It is the only basis on which 
RFC3066bis is acceptable at all to the wider community.

And there is no such thing as a possibility that RFC3066 and
RFC3066bis could exist in parallel.  All XML applications and
all web services applications currently depend on RFC3066 for 
the syntax and semantics of 'language tags'.
