[csswg-drafts] [css-mediaqueries] `lang` as a media feature: Conditional requests for CSSs in multilingual web sites (#5465)

anasram has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-mediaqueries] `lang` as a media feature: Conditional requests for CSSs in multilingual web sites ==
# The Problem

Imagine you have a web site supports about 100+ natural languages, every language has about 50 CSS rules (direction, align, generated content… etc). Then, you will have about 5000 CSS rules that a specific user (visitor) probably use only 1% of them.

# As a solution

I'd like to propose natural language (ISO 639-1 code) as a [CSS Media Feature](https://www.w3.org/TR/mediaqueries-4/#mq-features) to conditionally request a CSS file according to the used natural language, something like this:

```css
@media (lang: ar) {
 @import "stylesheet-ar.css";
}
```
