Michael, I am sure IETF would find a subtag for Klingon with the extended vocabulary. Or it would require another ISO 639-3 code? I mean, if it's not possible to treat them as so close varieties, so it's not necessary to do any additional standardization.
And how should we treat such hypothetical situatuion? Like American and British English, like Serbian and Croatian or like something else?

Miloš. Klingon vocabulary is created by ONE PERSON and ONE PERSON ONLY, and unless he makes a word for “table”. there isn’t one.

Or tafel or tisch or tryezë or ميز and that is exactly why all these

are not to be used in Klingon. The same is true for table actually.
Your incompetence is astonishing! Please, tell that to the speakers of, for example, Irish or Welsh.

I doubt I would approve it.

Because it had additional vocabulary? Not a chance.

Klingon is doing fine on its own. Its users enjoy it. It’s expanding now due to the new television series. It does not concern us right now, does it?

What, dialects of conlangs? Ido can be considered to be a dialect of Esperanto. A “reform-dialect” but a dialect nonetheless.
I don’t think we need to make a lot of rules right now. LFN will be a nice Wikipedia.
