Which I remember stated in a document too. Maybe what's suggested in the RFC (1766 and 3066 if I recall the numbers correctly), we should use the x primary subtag, and name it x-tp to avoid trouble (such as them getting a 3-letter code). Same goes for Lojban and Ido and Klingon which don't seem to have codes yet either.
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?
