What should zh (without anthing else) do, actually? What happens to that should probably be what we do for Mandarin and Literary. > FYI, Wikipedia[1] already uses lzh", without script. If we use Wikipedia as the criterion, the list would significantly change. Basically as far as I can see, Wikipedia uses Traditional Chinese in almost every Chinese languages it has a version for. But I suspect that most of those Wikipedia are built by language enthusiasts, and not used by people in general, so I tend not to pick that as a criterion. But on the other hand, I guess those language tags are almost only used in Wikipedia, and not anywhere else... - Xidorn
