The HTML5 Chinese IG is actually writing a wiki page to collect use cases of such and hopefully we'll have a fair assessment of how much this is needed. This is especially useful for us because we are in a messy situation where all the below are possible values for a Chinese page: zh zh-hant zh-tw zh-hant-tw zh-hans-cn cmn-Hant-TW cmn-Hans-CN yue-Hant-HK and so on Cheers, Kenny
