That's forced on purpose because it's unclear what should actually happen with arbitrary invented privateuse tags. If those end up in a document, loading them in another environment may likely be unsupported or even map to a completely different thing, that's the "private" in privateuse ... by definition of BCP47. What we could do however is to check against already known on-the-fly tags that were registered during loading dictionaries, and then *assume* the system and user know what is done if it matches. Best of course would be if someone registered proper French classiq/moderne subtags with IANA instead of coming up with some x-... mess.
