That seems to be contradicted by the fact that we registered a subtag for Western Armenian, with [hy] as a prefix. > The request at < > http://www-01.sil.org/iso639-3/cr_files/2017-023.pdf> says "The code > elements "hy".

The quote does say “primarily”; I don’t interpret this as a statement by the requesters that [hy] only is used with the stricter meaning of Standard Armenian.
