Hi Koji,

Marking the language as "zh" for korean documents wouls be like tagging
Japansse documents as "zh"

And would cause problems for other processes that use the language tag. I
doubt you would want a font fallback to simplified chinese fonts for old
Korean texts.

In BCP47 there is a script suppress for Kore

Kore = Hanja and Hanguel

So ko language tag is valide for Hanguel only, as well as Hanguel plus some
Hanja.

The rarer case of Hanja only could be represented by the language tag
ko-Hani

It might be worth tuping inter-ideographic spacing to this specific
language tag.

Allowing ko to use what is most appropriate for Hanguel documents.

Appologies for miss-spellings. Not enough sleep this week.
