As co-chair:

NO WAY.  Re-opening the document to make this kind of change after
IETF last call is not something I would be willing to even consider.
The amount of work and delay caused by doing it would be far greater
than the amount of "extra" work for all those registrations that
have been inundating ietf-languages at iana.org.  Bad tradeoff.
