@svgeesus suggested that: > I can see some people being upset that the example implies en and fr-CA would be treated the same. It doesn't imply that: it outright means that! 😉 Not only `fr-CA`, but `iu-CA` and `zh-CA` and many more. An alternative to trying to find a "realistic" example of a primary-language-only + a wildcarded range with no primary would be to use more clearly unrealistic examples, like `E:lang(tlh, "*-Cyrl", "*-AQ)` (Klingon, anything Cyrillic, anything Antarctica). @frivoal noted: > I think Serbian or Cyrillic is a more realistic example than English or whatever from Canada. Not all, but most language based selection in CSS has something to do with typography, and that is much more closely correlated with script than with geography. I mostly agree. Region-based presentation variations will mostly be divorced from the primary language. But then, so will script-based ones. While most CSS has "something to do with typography", there are decorative, layout, or other variations that people choose to manage via CSS that have only marginal relation to typography. That said, I would be happy with `sr, *-Cyrl` -- GitHub Notification of comment by aphillips Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/13644#issuecomment-4177998010 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
