No problem, Japanese has plenty of them.

My point is that if you don't know that you need a subtag, and you
don't know that you don't need a subtag, then don't use a subtag :-).

In either case, the list most probably will be incomplete.
My guess is that an incomplete list of two-level tags will
cause less damage than an incomplete list of one-level tags.
But in any case, the list should be very clearly labeled as
incomplete.
