Yeah, `ckb-x-zam` and `roa-x-tara` should be valid (I tested them on 
http://r12a.github.io/apps/subtags/ and it agrees).

For Serbian, even if the comments in one of the source files say it's supposed 
to be the Ekavian variety, I would expect users to go by what the user 
interface says (which doesn't seem to mention Ekavian anywhere). It'd be 
helpful if we could find a Serbian speaker who would know whether it really is 
only used for Ekavian...

I was mostly talking about terms because they're more common than monolingual 
text statements. :) I can't think of anything where I would expect them be 
treated differently though, other than the special codes (`mul`, `zxx`, etc) 
which don't make much sense for terms.

I remembered some more invalid codes: `de-formal`, `nl-informal` and `simple`. 
They're UI languages but occasionally people use them for content. If they stop 
being allowed for content, we should replace them with `de`, `nl` and `en` 
respectively. If they continue being allowed for content, `simple` would become 
`en-simple`, but there are no subtags for formal/informal, so I guess they 
would have to be something like `de-x-formal` and `nl-x-informal`.

By the way, language names are not always localised (e.g. in English `nl` shows 
up as "Dutch" but `nl-informal` shows up as "Nederlands (informeel)‎"), is that 
a bug or do they need translating somewhere? (and if so, where?)
