Editors of CLReq don't think this kind of details fit in CLReq. It seems overkill to create a WG note for a list of about 40 lines. But of course if somebody writes the document and Richard is fine with handling the publishing overhead, I won't object. I also agree that the list in its current form, with entries such as hak=zh-TW would be inappropriate in CLReq. But then, this exact form is probably also inappropriate for an independent note, as zh-TW just means "Chinese as used in Taiwan", even if it may be used with the meaning "use a traditional Hanzi font appropriate for Taiwan" internally in some browsers. This also shows a possible way to integrate this information into CLReq: State it as information about current practice (e.g. Hakka is predominantly written with a (Taiwanese style) traditional Hanzi font), and leave the implementation details (which should be rather straightforward) to other specs or implementations. Regards, Martin.
