I'm not 100% sold on this representation of VLE. We already have it as a "mode" similar to Thumb. Similar to Thumb, the whole binary is not necessarily VLE. More info here: https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/engineering-bulletin/EB687.pdf
We could consider it as both a "mode" and a sub-isa because it sort of acts like both. But maybe we should only consider the binary to have the sub-isa of "PPCVLE" if ALL of the (executable) sections/segments are VLE. Otherwise, it's normal PPC, with some areas that are PPC VLE.

Are there binaries with executable code in a section which is not marked with that VLE flag?

I've only seen ELF files where all code sections are PPC VLE. But I think that in theory an ELF file could contain both PPC and PPC VLE code.
