I understand there are both cases for all language. It even exists for hk/tw IIUC, so it's not new. As long as rough consensus exist, other cases could still say lang="yue-hans" or lang="zh-hans-yue". Blink currently does not support such lang nicely; i.e., when lang/script/region contradict to each other, but it looks to me that this is logically solvable by giving the higher priority to script tag. It'd be great if i18n WG can make a recommendation for how to handle these combinations, along with proper default for each language, so that all browsers can behave consistently. /koji 2016-07-26 14:53 GMT+09:00 Ambrose LI <ambrose.li@gmail.com>: > 2016-07-26 1:03 GMT-04:00 Koji Ishii <kojiishi@gmail.com>: > > To pick appropriate fonts, browsers need to know whether traditional or > > simplified is preferred for the language, and I believe it's the same for > > Gecko. > > This will be somewhat tricky... > > > Yue looks easy, all information I looked for says traditional. > > This is not strictly speaking correct.
