  @Amire80 To my knowledge it is not mandated anywhere that all variants of the 
representation of a lexeme lemma/form must use Q number private use subtags, 
but rather such uses are possible if other existing subtags within BCP47 cannot 
adequately indicate the necessary differences. The indication of Japanese 
written in different scripts can already be done with the BCP47 script subtag, 
so //(¡¡¡)within the scope of language codes(!!!)// the items I mentioned which 
are currently being used for those indications are redundant. Also, as I noted 
above, the distinction between kyujitai and shinjitai does not lend itself to a 
non-private-use indicator within the set of possible "ja" language tags, so 
this task is not meant to discourage the use of those private use subtags in 
that case.
  
  And besides, with respect to items, we already have language tags with 
different ISO 15924 codes for Tunisian Arabic, Crimean Tatar, Goan Konkani, 
Eastern Canadian Inuktitut, Kazakh, Kashmiri, Kurmanji, Megleno-Romanian, 
Tachelhit, Serbian, Tajik, Tatar, Uyghur, and Uzbek 
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Mr._Ibrahem/Language_statistics_for_items>, 
so there is clearly a precedent for the inclusion of codes of the sort which 
are the subject of this task.
