Not having all glyphs is fine, browsers can find fallback fonts. The
question affects which font do you expect to see, when you set lang and
without explicit font-family (no font-family or generic family), MS Yahei
or MS JhengHei?

As I replied to Ambrose, web authors can specify the script explicitly, but
the default is needed when the script is omitted.

Off-topic but "zh-hans-yue" was wrong as I re-read BCP-47, it should be
"yue-hans" or "zh-yue-hans". That makes easier to parse for our existing
code.

Some of them must be obvious to you but I have to admit that I'm not clear
on any of the 14 languages, your support is appreciated.
