That's almost exactly the same as this shorter rule:

| 1. Script subtags listed in the 'Suppress_Script' field
| SHOULD NOT be used to form language tags.

The difference between MUST NOT and SHOULD NOT is what you
say in your "unless..." clause, you need specific and good
reasons to violate a SHOULD NOT.

Or at least that's my interpretation of RfC 2119, sometimes
Bruce apparently didn't agree (only my personal impression).
