Presumably this would go in 2.2 where it currently says:
   o  The single letter subtag 'x' is reserved to introduce a sequence
      of private-use subtags.  The interpretation of any private-use
      subtags is defined solely by private agreement and is not defined
      by the rules in this section or in any standard or registry
      defined in this document.
