  Obviously so.  Amusingly, ISO states that "el" is meant for the Greek
language after the Fall of Constantinople(*), which assigns a rather long
period to Ancient Greek.

  Note that for all I know, there is no way to distinguish katharevousa
from demotic; but it would certainly be added to the IETF registry if
someone applied for it.

(*) Of course it doesn't say "after the Fall of Constanople" that way,
it says "from 1453 onwards" 
(http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/documentation.asp?id=ell)
but that's clearly what is meant.
