Those have all been assigned codes, Ido even a 2-letter code:

Ido has 3-letter code 'ido' and 2-letter code 'io' since January 2002.
Lojban has 'jbo' since Sptember 2003.
Klingon has 'tlh' since February 2004.

See http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/codechanges.html

Same site does say "Both code lists are considered open lists (i.e., it is
possible for new entries to be added to the lists)." by the way. (see
http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/faq.html). What source does Brion
have to claim ISO 639-1 is not, if I may ask?
