If named hyphenation resources would be introduced they could be limited to BCP47 strings or anything could be allowed. The former has the possible benefit of enabling implied ‘:lang()’ rules.

We could, but I guess authors usually don’t know enough about the linguistic foundation, they only know that there are new and old rules.
