Many ISO 15924 scripts are not presently encoded, and ISO 15924
in no way depends on ISO 10646.

UTF-8 is not a script.

Keyboards are neither scripts nor encodings.

A browser could look for a Mongolian font, or could replace the document
with a note that it is in a script you don't understand, or transliterate
it into a script you do understand. But of course language tags are not
confined to browsers: they can also be used, for example, to catalogue
resources.
