Proposal to add Roman transliteration schemes to ISO 15924.

[Roozbeh Pournader via Unicode]

You don't need an ISO 15924 script code. You need to think in terms of BCP
47. Sanskrit in Latin would be sa-Latn. Now, if you want to distinguish the
different transcription systems for writing Sanskrit in Latin, you can
apply to registry a BCP 47 variant. There are also BCP 47 extension T,
which may also be useful to you:
