The "grandfathered" production in the RFC 3066bis ABNF is intended only
for the 24 entries (not 46, as I wrote earlier) that are carried over
from the RFC 3066 registry and that don't otherwise conform to the RFC
3066bis syntax. Take a look at the items marked "grandfathered" in the
proposed registry:

If you can write a reasonable "grandfathered" production in ABNF that
will allow this set of tags and no others, such that the ABNF can be
used without also referring to the prose, then I salute you.
If there really are only 24 items of less than 11 octets each,
a trivial solution is to simply list them (with the usual ABNF
syntax) as literal strings. That should take no more than a
half-dozen lines.
