Hi!

I think "mul" is for "text in more than one language" and there's also
"zxx" is for "text that is not defined as being in any language at all".

BTW, BCP 47 also says:

The 'mis' (Uncoded) primary language subtag identifies content
whose language is known but that does not currently have a
corresponding subtag.  This subtag SHOULD NOT be used.
Because the addition of other codes in the future can render
its application invalid, it is inherently unstable and hence
incompatible with the stability goals of BCP 47.  It is always
preferable to use other subtags: either 'und' or (with prior
agreement) private use subtags.

So maybe using und would be a good idea.
