I oppose this proposal for the simple reason that it thinks hyphen separations are not necessary. Possibly true today but there will be extensions in some future needing more than 2 letters or 3 digits in the primary subtag. even for iso 3166-2 the regional subtags are very likely to change and without separators the extension,s will become ambiguous
